L'art du taupier; ou, méthode amusante et infaillible de prendre les taupes

The volume surveys the natural history and anatomy of moles, comparing species and mapping distribution, then focuses on morphological adaptations for a subterranean life — forelimbs, snout, senses — and explains how behavior creates tunnels and molehills. It proceeds to practical guidance for detecting mole activity, interpreting different types of spoil and burrow patterns, and presents methods and traps aimed at capturing or controlling moles, with seasonal and habitat considerations for agricultural and garden use. Illustrations and step-by-step instructions support the technical descriptions, blending observational zoology with applied pest-management techniques.
