moles != rodents
Re: mole classification
This tree isn't totally up to date and indeed these high level relationships remain hard to figure out, but the orange (Laurasiatheria) and blue (Euarchontoglires) groupings are overall correct, and rodents and moles (in the group Eulipotyphia) are not close at all. Rodents are closer to rabbits and primates than to moles, and moles are closer to hoofed mammals and dogs than to rodents.
