1 Naked mole-rats are certainly animals of massive confusion! Unlike what their name suggests, naked mole-rats are not entirely naked. Aside from their sensory whiskers around their heads and tails, naked mole rats have fine, pale-colored hair between their toes. Furthermore, despite the fact that their name is made up of two distinctive animals -- moles and rats, naked mole-rats are actually more closely related to porcupines and chinchillas than to moles and rats. No matter who naked mole-rats' close relatives are, all these animals are rodents.
