Mole-rats

“	That sounds good. What you in the mood for? Hyrax? Lizard? Mole-rat?	”
–Nduli, The Zebra Mastermind

Mole-rats are rodents that have been mentioned in The Lion Guard universe. They live in the Outlands.

Appearance[]

Naked mole-rats are small, nearly hairless rodents with small eyes and large, protruding teeth. Due to their lack of hair, their colors are either wrinkled pink or yellowish.

Information[]

Mole-rats are perfectly adapted to live underground, particularly where the climate is dry and arid. They almost solely rely on their teeth to dig tunnels and burrows. Mole-rats live in colonies lead by a queen that is much larger than all the other individuals and is the only female who can reproduce.

History[]

The Zebra Mastermind[]

When Nduli asks Tamka about what they should eat in the Outlands, the former suggests mole-rats, lizards, and hyraxes before coming across Thurston.

TRIVIA[]

Pink, wrinkled skin is almost entirely hairless.
Spends its whole life below the scorching East African savannah in underground tunnels.
Lives in colonies ruled by a single female - a similar social structure to that of ants and bees.
Born to burrow, moles rarely surface.
The Bathyergidae family has nine species in five genera; all are native to Africa south of the Sahara. About 30,000,000 years ago they ranged as Mongolia. Mole rats are related to the cane rat, which has a similar range but lives above ground.
