Aardvarks are the only living member of the order Tubulidentata, and their most closely living relatives include golden moles, elephants and manatees.

“I was introduced to Samantha, who was doing research on eDNA and golden moles. We shared the same interest in the species, and she became part of our team.”

The earliest underground-dwelling mammal ever found, Docofossor might have been similar to an African golden mole, with short, wide digits good for digging.

During the day, the golden mole keeps cool by hiding under the sand.

The most interesting of the endemic insectivora is the Chrysochloris or “golden mole,” so called from the brilliant yellow lustre of its fur.
