Yesterday me and my family went to the national zoo in Washington DC. We saw the craziest, ugliest creature I've personally ever seen. This little creature is called the Heterocephalus glaber ( I realize that's way to hard for all of us to pronounce, so its nickname is The mole rat.) its skin has hardly any feeling in it, making it possible for them to live in harsh environments.
These crazy little animals run ramped all through eastern Africa. They are not an endangered spiecies these rodents are very large in numbers. In fact, There probably are so many because they live so long! They are considered the longest living rodent, with a lifespan up twenty~eight years.
