Really wanted to see one in a smoking jacket! Wombats next? OK, I'm done now, couldn't help myself! I didn't know mole rats could physically change their shape, that's very interesting. Has much research gone into how that happens? How long it takes etc.? I'd love to know more!

I found this so interesting even if it did make my views on the what I thought were cute Meerkats then realising they are thugs. The naked mole rat is this found in the UK I know meerkats don’t live here in the UK other than in Zoos which I despise. However was not sure about the naked mole rat. I love all these videos because I learn so much from your videos especially as I cannot get up to London due to my age and disability so thank you all so very much.

No mole rats in the UK, I believe they're mainly found in Africa. I understand the frustration of not getting out due to disability, horrid isn't it? I used to go to the NHM as often as I could when I lived in Milton Keynes, but now I'm further away the journey is much more difficult and recovery time longer so I haven't been in over a decade. I hope yours is manageable and you're not in too much pain. Keep fighting!
