This blind mole rat occurs in the Golan Heights. A study recorded S. golani populations in basalt soils and examined how dorsal coat color relates to soil color.
The study described two northern species, including S. golani, whose dorsal hair tips are reddish orange and whose coats are darker. These colors were associated with dark soils such as basalt in the Golan Heights.
