Exploring the Intelligence of Rats
The rat has a very strong adaptability, and its shadows can be found all over the world. Moreover, the intelligence of rats is not low. For many years, humans' efforts to eliminate rats have not succeeded, so people began to attribute the failure to rats continuously increasing resistance to poisons, but recently scientists believe that it is because the rats' intelligence is particularly high.
The brains of primates are spiral-shaped, but rats' brains are smooth, however, this does not affect the rats' amazing wisdom. Scientists point out that the rat's adaptability suggests that they have an extremely delicate nervous system. When a new rat poison is dropped in a city, the news can spread to all rat groups within hours. After people started using rat poison, rats were unable to cope, but now they know how to find food rich in Vitamin E to eat, because this substance helps to detoxify. Rats also have a special ability, which is to pass their aversion to new things to the next generation. Rats are naturally cautious, and the first time they eat new things, they will not eat a deadly amount, and when they find something wrong, they will not let other rats approach, thus protecting the entire rat group.
A mature rat can understand human speech, and its IQ is equivalent to that of an 8-year-old child. Actually, rats are born in nature and grow up in nature, and they make certain contingency responses to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, and locust plagues, which is normal for earth creatures. This is just that some limitations of human knowledge have not yet revealed its mystery and rules. Before the Tangshan earthquake, people were surprised to find that rat groups fled to the suburbs or huddled in groups of three or five in the streets and roads, and did not know what this meant. Similar things have repeated many times in the past, so rats have become sacred spirits in the eyes of humans. We can see this from the interpretation of dreams about rats in the Zhou Dynasty.
