Physiological Attributes
Common mole rats are endothermic, having the ability to generate their own heat and keep their body temperature above ambient temperature. They have lower individual body masses in arid environments that help with energy conservation. These mole rats also have long sensory hairs called Vibrissae that stand out from the pelage (fur covering) over their body.
