mole rat

The naked mole rat is the animal equivalent of the nightmarish Pale Man from Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, but this little guy is much less menacing.

Eusocial has been used to describe certain societies of insects and crustaceans, along with two species of mole rats.

The Mole-rat needs not to dig such deep tunnels as the true Moles, because its food does not lie so deep.

But the Mole-rat lives mostly upon roots, preferring those of a bulbous nature.

A better term for it is the Mole-rat, by which name it is familiar to zoologists.
