Katherine and Helen went to see the new exhibit at the Little Rock Zoo this week — naked mole rats. Katherine's description was fairly disturbing. Imagine a large, squirming pile of hairless, wrinkled, fanged rodents clawing and biting each other. The rats are about the size of small cucumbers. They are long, skinny, and. . . well, Helen's description took the prize. Really, kids say the darndest things some times. And rather loudly as well. But I'm sure she's not the first person to state the obvious regarding those priapic, naked mole rats.

The queen rules by her behavior and possibly by chemicals called pheromones that are let out in her urine. When she dies, several of the larger females fight, sometimes to the death, to become queen."
Man, that is totally HAWT! Rawr, cat fight baby.
