If I were a naked mole rat queen, the first rule I would make is that everyone has to
put on some clothes. Ok, seriously. The queen of the naked mole
rats is the head of the colony. There may be up to 300 in the colony. The queen picks
about 3 of the finest males to be her mate. The rest of the colony are given jobs like
tunnel digger, soldier or tending to the queens every need. The queen is the only female to
have babies in the colony. She is pregnant for about 70 days. And she nurses the pups
for about a month. Then the rest of the colony takes over babysitting until the pups are
big enough to have a job of their own. So if you ever turn into a naked mole rat,
you might want to be the Queen. Thanks for watching our fuzzy wuzzy anipals
