What can't naked mole rats do? They rarely get cancer, are resistant to some types of pain, and can survive for over 15 minutes without oxygen. And now a new study has found that their risk of death doesn't increase as they age. https://t.co/s2wqArHsoy

Marmots can be social, but they don't really want to be. Now it turns out that antisocial marmots live longer. https://t.co/9fG1v4qvVJ
