The hairless mole rat, also known as shaved ratopin or heterocephalic, is a species of histricomorphic rodent of the bathyergidae family, this species is the only one of its kind, they are blind and of a strange appearance, but their appearance does not deceive you because This species is key to the cure of some diseases, this rat is immune to cancer, can last up to 18 minutes without oxygen, does not age as another mammal does and in fact shows little aging and little risk of death.
