Information About The South African Molerat And Rodent Mole Species

The Molerat And Rodent Moles Of South Africa

Molerats make up a rodent family that are endemic to Africa and some species to South Africa. Molerats are very similar to Moles and have habits that are exactly like the Moles. Molerats have keen burrowing habits, large incisor teeth, similar looks and poor eyesight, just like the Mole species of the world! Did you know the Mole-rats closest relative is the Porcupine, quite unbelievable!
