Naked Mole Rat
Today in morning meeting we talked about our field trip to Zoo Atlanta. We will see many animals but we are most interested in the mammals of the rain forest. We learned many interesting facts about the Naked Mole Rat. It not a rat or a mole. They are related to porcupines and hedgehogs. They have funny looking teeth. Their colonies range from 20-300 mole rats. The colonies span 2-3 miles. They are ruled by a queen and she mates with 3-4 mole rats in her colony.
