Zokors are active throughout the year. Even though the temperature conditions above ground vary greatly, in the burrow the temperature is much less extreme and these zokors do not hibernate in winter, although their activity level is reduced. In spring, male zokors extend their tunnels and mate with females when their tunnel systems intersect.
Zokors are native to much of China, Kazakhstan, and Siberian Russia. Traditionally, zokors were thought to be closely related to either hamsters ( Cricetinae ) or voles ( Arvicolinae ), but recent molecular phylogenetic studies have demonstrated they are more closely related to blind mole-rats ( Spalacinae ) and root and bamboo rats ...
It includes the blind mole-rats, bamboo rats, mole-rats, and zokors. This family represents the oldest split (excluding perhaps the Platacanthomyidae ) in the muroid superfamily, and comprises animals adapted to a subterranean way of life.

Zokors (subfamily Myospalacinae), root rats, and bamboo rats (subfamily Rhizomyinae) are spalacids also sometimes referred to as mole rats. Blind mole-rats are in the family Spalacidae , but are unique enough to be given a separate subfamily , Spalacinae .
The rodent family Platacanthomyidae, or Oriental dormice, includes the spiny dormice and the Chinese pygmy dormice.In spite of their appearance, these animals are not true dormice, but are part of the large and complex superfamily Muroidea.
