LI Challenge Lesson 1a2

What luck that I should be able to search further on my good friend the naked mole rat. Upon typing this in the search bar, I was linked to a page about mole-rats,  which is defined as any variety of small rodents adapted to underground life. Their was however a different picture of my pal-

 which seemed even less flattering than the one I had grown to think of "so ugly, it's cute." At the bottom of the page there was a link to the more specific mole-rat in question. The original profile picture emerged and I read some of the same material I had in World Kids but there was much more information added and included some scientific terms like eusociality, which means their colony resembles that of ants and bees, with one queen female.

So while I don't think I will be bringing one home anytime soon to cuddle with and replace my dogs, I do have a new appreciation for my hairless friend even if he does not resemble the Disney Disillusion.
