Eastern Mole 2

Story here:

This is one of the first pics I got where it was scared and screeching at me and mad as hell. It was not hurt or in pain, it was just scared because I was trying to get a better look at it.
Even when angry it's adorable. Those teeth hurt though. My right hand was gloved, sadly it was even more scared by that so I had to go barehanded after a few minutes. It preferred my bare hands and even nestled itself against them when it felt threatened.

I was not squeezing the mole too hard nor was I hurting it here, moles are most comfortable in tight spaces where they can feel their surroundings. As such it was more freaked out when I'd loosen my grip and would promptly push itself against my hand harder until I'd hold it firmly again.
