Giant Root Rat Tachyoryctes macrocephalus
A rodent endemic to Ethiopia's Bale Mountains, also known as big-headed mole rat. While the other mole rats not only live but also feed underground, this species mostly forages above ground, by digging a new tunnel to a patch of herbage. It forages for about 20 minutes, until it has exhausted the supply of herbs about its tunnel, after which it blocks the tunnel it has built from the inside.
