Supplementary Video 1
This movie shows a star-nosed mole filmed from below as it detects and eats a small prey item (piece of an earthworm, approximately 10 joules) in under 150 milliseconds.
Supplementary Video 2
This movie shows a short-tailed shrew (a species commonly found in star-nosed mole tunnels) eating a cricket (approximately 1400 joules) in 30 seconds.
Supplementary Video 3
This movie show a star-nosed mole eating an earthworm segment containing approximately 1100 joules of energy.
Supplementary Video 4
This movie shows an Eastern American mole encountering a series of small (10J) prey items.
Supplementary Video 5
This video shows a star-nosed mole's first encounter with a multiple prey item array.
Supplementary Video 6
This movie shows a "double-take" during which a star-nosed mole exhibits a time lag before returning to contacted prey.
