The burrowing African rodent commonly referred to as the "mole rat" belongs to the family Bathyergidae. One notable species within this family is the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber), known for its unique social structure and almost hairless appearance. These rodents are found primarily in East Africa and are well-adapted to a subterranean lifestyle.
