Inviting viewers into a rarely seen underground world, this program illustrates recent developments in the study of Africa’s naked mole rat and its system of subterranean colonization. With an overview of the species’ eusocial behavior—which includes allegiance to a queen, drawing comparisons to many insect communities—the video describes an innovative approach to capturing the naked mole rat that enables close study, a vast improvement over previous methods which often proved fatal to colony inhabitants. The program also depicts the animal’s exceptional digging abilities. (13 minutes)
