The naked mole rat and the Damaraland mole rat are the only eusocial mammals that are known. It has a highly unusual set of physical traits that enable it to thrive in an otherwise harsh underground environment; it is the only mammalian thermo conformer, has a lack of pain sensation in its skin, and has very low metabolic and respiratory rates.
