[2][3] This species has shown signs of genetic drift through either paripatric or peripatric speciation.

[6] The Japanese mole (Mogera wogura) uses two methods of locomotion: crawling and burrowing, which provide an insight into its highly evolved mechanism of strong neural control.

[7] They use these skills to remove piles of loose dirt through stroke-like movements compared to that of swimming.

[7] Based on observations of previous specimens of the litter size of M. tokudae (including M. etigo), M. imaizumii (Abe 1968), M. wogura (Fujiwara 1960C, 1962), and Hoslett and Imaizumi (1966, 1967) it was shown that the season of reproduction for the Mogera species is usually limited in spring.

There was a sexually active male and lactating female, both of the M. wogura species discovered in both September and October respectively.
