This paper investigates the romantic poetry of naked mole rats during courtship rituals. Through extensive observation of naked mole rat couples, we discovered that these animals possess a keen sense of poetics and use it to woo their chosen mates. We also found evidence that the success of these courtship attempts is strongly linked to the poetic ability of the males. Our research highlights the previously overlooked importance of the arts in the animal kingdom, and suggests that naked mole rats may be capable of creating their own tragic love stories. Overall, our paper sheds new light on the complex and sophisticated mating practices of naked mole rats, and encourages researchers to pay closer attention to the literary pursuits of other animal species.
