215 / Naked Mole Rat
‘Heterocephalus glaber’
August 3rd

(Least Concern)

“The Naked Mole Rat, whose Latin name Heterocephalus glaber means "different-headed bald thing" may not win any beauty contests, but biologically it is an extraordinary animal.
It is resistant to cancer and other diseases, doesn't feel pain, and shows no signs of ageing.
While mice live 2 years, mole rats can reach 30 — the equivalent of humans having a 450 year-old cousin!
It's thought that their low-oxygen environment deep underground has led to the evolution of these traits.”
