Naked mole-rat queens utilize a chemical signal to suppress fertility in rival females within their colonies. This mechanism allows the dominant queens to maintain control over reproduction in the eusocial rodent societies.
Naked mole rats are known for several unusual biological traits. They spend almost their entire lives underground, exhibit high resistance to certain types of pain, can survive without oxygen for extended periods, rarely develop cancer, and have unusually long lifespans of over 30 years, which significantly exceeds the longevity of similarly sized rodents.
