Naked Mole-rat Cam FAQs
Where are the naked mole-rats?
The webcam is stationary and does not follow the naked mole-rats as they roam inside their box and tunnel system. They can choose to spend time in parts of the “burrow” that are not visible on the webcam. If you don’t see any animals, wait a few minutes or check back again later to see if any of the naked mole-rats are scurrying near the webcam.
Why are the naked mole-rats climbing all over each other?
Naked mole-rats engage in behaviors that may seem rude by human standards. The animals sometimes walk over each other, or push each other if they meet head-on in a tunnel. However, all of those behaviors are normal for naked mole-rats.
