Rat Communication And Intelligence
When I moved into my new house, I knew the former occupants were certainly not the cleanest people, but after hosing the place down top to bottom, I still couldn't pinpoint what that odor was. Several weeks later, I found my answer when a carpenter opened a wall and found 6 dead rodents. Poison may seem like a good way of dealing with these "vermin" (rodents, not contractors), but a closer look at these creatures shows the shortsightedness of this solution.
Having been poisoned and too weak to make their escape, the rodents still had their revenge by stinking up the place. When scented candles no longer masked the smell, a bargain property suddenly hit the market.
Despite all the bad publicity rats receive, there is another side to this animal. Rats have remarkable intelligence, endurance and agility. Capable of jumping 5 times their distance and swimming 3 days straight, rats are remarkable survivors. In fact, their ability to map out a room borders on the savant. Brain scans show they can replay in their minds the exact sequence of events that lead them to a food source. Unlike humans, rats have the ability to systematically replay each memory in reverse. This gives them an edge over human memory recollection.
Rats also show their intelligence in several other ways. They quickly learn to use their tails to balance themselves on wires and know how to hang on with their tails if necessary. When they eat, they sample food first to make sure it doesn't get them sick. If no ill effects are felt, later they will resume eating.
We like to believe that we are superior intellectually in every respect over other animals. Yet if speech alone hadn't been developed. we would probably still be living in caves and straw huts. We are neither unique in our capability to build things or in our ability to communicate. Rats for example, can omit high pitched frequencies to express themselves and communicate with other rats. If one is trapped, it will use a form of ultrasound to warn others. Likewise, the nests they create as well as bee hives, beaver dams, ant farms, etc. show us we are not alone in our ability to build things for our needs.
Rats also show great ingenuity in their ability to forthink a situation. As anyone knows who has ever tried to plug a rodent entrance to a room, it is not unusual to find that they have already found an alternate root. Their ability to think ahead and develop backup plans coupled with their innate curiosity to explore their habitat for the best opportunities available, are hallmarks of higher intelligence. Certainly, any time they outwit us, you have to wonder, does this animal deserve the fate that it has been dealt being subjected to laboratory experiments or is there something wrong with our intelligence for believing we have the right to subject any animal to such misery?
