THE MIDDLE EAST BLIND MOLE-RAT OR PALESTINE MOLE-RAT Spalax and nannospalax are genera of blind mole-rats found in eastern Europe and western Asia. They are completely blind, with their eyes being entirely covered by skin. From the looks of it, the blind mole rat doesnt have a lot going for it. Not only does the creature lack eyesight, but it also spends the majority of its life underground. However, the animal possesses a rare talent: the ability to exploit the earths magnetic field to find its way home. Blind mole rats have been observed using both their sense of smell and their balance to navigate over short distances. Source: Instagram@archaeology___ 🎥:©️costicacrvO Via @national_sciences
