Species With Immune Systems Stronger Than Any Other Animal
Naked Mole Rat
With wrinkled pink skin and buck teeth, this rodent looks unusual but possesses cancer fighting abilities that baffle scientists. Naked mole rats rarely develop tumors, even when exposed to cancer causing chemicals in laboratories.
Their cells contain unique molecules that prevent uncontrolled growth. Living up to 30 years, they outlive similar sized rodents by decades while staying remarkably healthy throughout their long lives.
