Species Overview

A remarkable subterranean rodent (family Heterocephalidae) from the dry grasslands of East Africa (Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia). Adults weigh 30โ€“80 g with a virtually hairless, wrinkled, pinkish body, tiny eyes, and enormous protruding incisors. They are one of only two known eusocial mammals: colonies of 70โ€“300 individuals are headed by a single breeding queen; all other members are non-reproductive workers or soldiers, analogous to social insects. They are poikilothermic for a mammal, unable to effectively thermoregulate, relying on huddling and ambient tunnel temperature (~30ยฐC). They feed on tubers and roots. Their biology is extraordinary: near-complete resistance to cancer (attributed to high-molecular-weight hyaluronan and other mechanisms), insensitivity to certain pain stimuli (acid, capsaicin), extreme hypoxia tolerance (surviving 18 minutes of anoxia), and a maximum lifespan of 30+ yearsโ€”10ร— longer than predicted for their body size. They defy Gompertz's law of aging mortality. A premier model for cancer, aging, and social evolution research. 2n=60.
