Did you know that the naked mole-rat is one of the few mammals that are eusocial, meaning they have a social structure similar to that of bees or ants? Naked mole-rats live in underground colonies in the deserts of East Africa and have a queen who is the only female in the colony that reproduces. The other members of the colony are divided into workers and soldiers, with each individual having a specific role in the colony. The naked mole-rat is also unique in that it is cold-blooded and can tolerate low levels of oxygen, making it well-adapted to life in the harsh desert environment.
