The Cape Dune mole rat is a fossorial rodent species found in South Africa, particularly in coastal sand dunes. Adapted to a subterranean lifestyle, these mole rats have robust, cylindrical bodies, small eyes, and large incisors for burrowing. They play a vital role in their ecosystem by creating intricate burrow systems, which contribute to soil aeration and plant growth in their sandy habitats.
