Three minutes to talk about popular science The story of cats and mice is familiar to everyone, right?Jerry, the quirky little mouse, is loved all over the world, and his efforts to protect cheese have caused many people to laugh and deepen the impression that the public loves cheese. But in fact, there are many people who have a question, that is: do rats really love ** cheese?Why haven't I seen it before?
When it comes to rats, they are all negative in the eyes of China. What roe head rat eyes street rats, all kinds of adjectives with rat words are used to insult people. Because of this prejudice, we know very little about rats, whether they love ** cheese or not, and whether rats are real or fake
When it comes to rats, everyone thinks of the sharp-mouthed rodents, but rats are actually a very broad umbrella term.
In China alone, there are more than 200 types of rats, each with its own hobbies and eating habits.
For example, the vole, which is hated by farmers, loves to eat rhizomes, and pet hamsters love to eat seeds.
And the house mice that we deal with most often are also divided into several species, what yellow-brown rats and black house mice, they also have their own food preferences, and they love to eat sugar and meat food.
I believe everyone remembers the nursery rhyme of the little mouse going to the lampstand, this is because the ancient wax oil was made of lard, and the house mice naturally climbed up and couldn't get down.
Rats are small in size, but their bodies work very quickly, they can easily go hungry, and they need to eat non-stop to survive, so they have the habit of hoarding food.
So, back to the original question, do mice love ** cheese like in cat and mouse?
The answer may disappoint many children, who do not love cheese and even reject it a little.
The reason is that cheese simply does not meet the requirements of rats, it is lower in calories than nuts, and it tastes worse than meat, so cheese is not an ideal food for them at all.
So why do rats give the impression of loving ** cheese?
According to the researchers, it is likely that the rats will also take a few bites of cheese when they have no choice, and the cheese texture is soft and the tooth marks will be obvious. In addition, a lot of cheese in Europe is perforated for easy storage, and it is drilled around by rats as a pipe, leaving traces, combined with tooth marks, people think that rats love ** cheese.
Coupled with the worldwide spread of cat and mouse cartoons, the prejudice that mice love **cheese is solid. The rat could not speak, so it could only silently carry the label imposed by humans.
In addition to cheese, another rumor about rats is that rats are blind. Can rats really only see a few inches in front of them?
To clarify, this is not a rumor, the mouse does have poor eyesight, less than a tenth of us.
Experiments have found that rats can generally only see things within their line of sight of fifteen centimeters, that is, about five inches, which is considered to confirm this rumor.
The reason why mice have such poor eyesight is that there are so few neuropathic cells on their retinas that responsible for distance, only half of what humans do.
It is important to know that most rats are nocturnal animals, their eyes are more adapted to the dark, and a good set of eyesight is of little use to them.
Although their eyesight is not good, they have a wider range of vision and a more sensitive nose, which has met the conditions for survival.
Nowadays, our living conditions are getting better and better, and we rarely see mice anymore, and more of them are fluffy pets. I just don't know if the rumor about rats love ** cheese will be passed down from generation to generation?
