January 24th - Naked Mole Rat


Naked Mole Rat

plush toy

The naked mole rat in reality is not as cute as his plush counterpart here. The plush looks more a hairless, pink bull terrier puppy. The real thing looks more like a blind, uncooked sausage with tiny appendages and gnarly looking' front teeth. Leave it to the entertainment world to take something real, strip it of its animal facts/educational value, and market it in a cute, cuddly form for kids. Damn you, Kim Possible!
