However, there is an ugly animal so ugly that even cancer is afraid of him. Scientists have not found any cases of cancer so far, and some people regard them as the saviors of mankind, because the clues to cure cancer in the future may be on them.
This magical animal is the naked mole.
Naked mole is a kind of rodent that has lived in narrow caves for many years. Its length does not exceed 10 cm, and it is native to eastern Africa. It feeds on the roots of plants.
Don't think they are ugly, their magical anti-cancer ability may come from their wrinkled skin. There is a special mechanism in their bodies to loosen their flesh and prevent cells from gathering together, so even if there are mutant cancer cells, they can't gather into tumors. Scientists hope to extract anticancer substances from it, so that human beings can have this indestructible body in the future.
Their special functions are not limited to these. The life span of ordinary small animals is not too long, but they can live to 30 years old, which is 10 times longer than that of ordinary mice. They can't feel pain. What is the meaning of "scraping bones to cure poison" in Guan Yu's joke? It's nothing. Some scientists also want to find the secret of painkillers and immortality.
Although they are mammals, they have a social system similar to ants: there are about 100 naked moles in a nest, most of whom are infertile women workers in bad jobs; There is only one queen mouse in it, doing nothing, just frying rice with three or five male mice and having children. Each fetus is about 10. The queen bee suckles in the first month after birth, and then the female worker takes over the feeding.
