Naked mole-rats have an unusual colony system that, much like ants, relies on a Queen. But when two new potential queens emerge, keepers are concerned that they may kill one another's offspring or even fight to the death!
The naked mole-rat, also known as the sand puppy, is a burrowing rodent native to parts of East Africa. It is closely related to the blesmols and is the only species in the genus Heterocephalus of the family Heterocephalidae.
