Martino's mole (Talpa martinorum) is a species of small blind mole in the family Talpidae found in eastern Thrace along the western Black Sea coast in south-eastern Bulgaria and north-eastern Turkey, mainly in the Strandzha mountain range. In Bulgaria it is found in Strandzha Nature Park.[1] Martino's mole is named in honour of the couple Evgeniya and Vladimir Martino, key earlier Balkan mammalogists.[1]
