This creature is named after the 22 tentacles located around the nose, they are really sensitive.  The star-nosed mole can smell and locate food just as fast underwater as it can underground. Underwater it blows bubbles from its nostrils and then breathes them back in again. It is officially the fastest eating mammal alive.

Black bears have been known to eat insects and beetles, but usually stick to simpler foods like plants, seeds and fruit.
