Naked mole rats



(Heterocephalus glaber) on display in the newish underground part of Osnabrück Zoo. These animals are fascinating, especially their social structure. Interested? Naked mole rats on "the life of mammals", BBC: Videolink.

Did you know there´s another "eusocial" mole rat beside the naked one? I didn´t either... the damaraland mole rat. (Cryptomis damarensis)

Do you want a mole rat for you home ?
You can have one! Sandras mole rat figurines.
