The picture before the questions is of a Blind Mole Rat another very strange animal which lives like an ant colony with a 'queen' who produces all the young and the rest of the nest does all the work, foraging and such.

That was so educational! Thank you Quiz Folks. I marvel at nature's ingenuity at the use of all senses. For me eye sight is number one sense. I'm grateful.
