Moe the Mole

Moe the Mole was a fictional character used to teach children about outdoor safety in Appalachia.

Background
Moe the Mole was part of an educational program designed by the United States Forest Service to teach young campers about local wildlife and environmental science. One such tour covered the southern devil scorpion, during which Moe dispenses questionable advice which included: picking it up and showing it some love; carrying a firearm or two to defend oneself; and not remaining calm. This Appalachian wildlife tour was complete with a tall tale regarding a foot-long scorpion named Scorpie who had a taste for cupcakes.
