Naked Mole Rats! What Are Those?

The harsh deserts of East Africa are home to a peculiar rodent species known as the naked mole rat. Despite their unusual appearance, these creatures are quite fascinating. They have pink, wrinkled skin and live in underground burrows, much like moles. They also possess rat-like tails and are basically hairless, making them the only mole rats without any significant hair. Interestingly, naked mole rats are more closely related to porcupines, chinchillas, and guinea pigs than they are to moles or rats. These strange creatures sound interesting, don’t they? We think you should introduce your students to them, too!
