Ugly, but amazing. What else can you say about the only mammals to evolve "eusociality" and live in a hive like insects?

I think a clothed mole rat would freak me out worse. Where did they get clothes? Did they dress themselves? Did their socks match?

I'm surprised I've never read about them before, they are fascinating creatures for a bunch of different reasons.
They would make platypuses say "damn, those things are weird"
