The Zambian mole-rat (Fukomys amatus) is a species of rodent in the family Bathyergidae. It is found in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Cryptomys hottentotus.[1] It is noted for its very long tunnels, up to 2.8 km for a single colony of only 10 individuals.[2][not in citation given]
