Eusociality and Colony Organization in Naked Mole-Rats

Quick fact

Naked mole-rats are the only eusocial mammals known, and their colonies can contain over 300 individuals, yet only a single female—the queen—reproduces, while the rest are sterile workers.

Why this is interesting

Imagine a mammal that lives like a bee: a single queen, thousands of sterile workers, and a lifetime spent digging. But this isn't science fiction—it's the naked mole-rat, a pink, wrinkled rodent that defies all rules of mammal society.
