8010: Chinese mole fails to dig up sweet potatoes in vegetable field

On August 26, 2026, in Henan province, located in central China, a video captured a filmer placing a pet mole into a vegetable field. The sweet potatoes in the field were ready to harvest, so the filmer wanted the mole to try digging them out. The clever-looking mole dug tunnels for a long time, but it did not manage to uncover a single sweet potato. The result made the scene look both funny and unexpected. The mole seemed busy underground, but its effort did not help with the harvest. Chinese netizens explained that moles dig mainly to look for insects, not sweet potatoes. Many said it was normal that the animal failed to find any, because it was simply following its own instincts.
