Blind Mole Rat
The Blind Mole Rat is a small, burrowing rodent native to parts of Eastern Europe and Asia. It has a cylindrical body, short limbs, and a hairless, pinkish skin that helps it navigate underground. These rodents are known for their poor eyesight, which is why they rely on their other senses, such as touch and smell, to find food and navigate their dark environments.
Blind mole rats primarily feed on tubers and roots, which they locate using their sensitive whiskers. They live in complex tunnel systems and are social animals, often found in colonies. Their unique adaptations make them well-suited for a subterranean lifestyle.
