Rats live at the bottom of the food chain, feeding on mosquitoes and stealing crops. As an indispensable part of the natural biological chain, mice have the ability to cope with natural disasters. In the long-term struggle with nature, mice have developed keen insight and avoidance ability, and floods are not enough for them.
Rats are timid by nature and come and go in daily life without a trace. They are usually used to coming out for food at night. At the same time, they have a keen sense of smell and are particularly afraid of the smell of human beings, so they never meet people and run away when they see them.
Out of fear of human beings, mice choose to live in dark and hidden corners, such as toilets, sewers, utility rooms, warehouses and so on.
These places can not only avoid human intrusion, but also obtain sufficient food sources, because these dark and humid places are a paradise for mosquitoes, and mice only live by preying on mosquitoes. In addition, some grain warehouses have become "natural granaries" for rats.
So some people can only keep a few cats in the warehouse!
In order to escape the pursuit of natural enemies (cats), mice make holes with sharp claws, and when they are in danger, they quickly escape into the holes and can't catch them, so cats can't do anything about them.
Living in such an environment, wouldn't it be wiped out if there was a flood?
Why aren't mice extinct?
Because rats have the skills to cope with floods ...
Rats are the fastest-growing and most adaptable animals among mammals. At present, there are about 400 kinds of mice in the world. We see mice every day, voles live in rice fields, and there is a pet called hamster.
The so-called: skills are not heavy, and mice have many survival skills that other animals do not have.
1, good at swimming. We seldom see drowned mice. This is because mice are good swimmers. They have this skill since birth. When swimming, they paddle with their hind legs, control their direction with their front legs, and balance their bodies with their tails.
And their endurance is amazing. They can swim in the water for three days and hold their breath for three minutes when diving into the water.
2, good at climbing, the mouse is agile and very good at climbing. Their claws can be bent at a special angle, and they can easily climb up no matter how high the tree is or how smooth the plane is.
3, good at jumping, mice can jump more than 5 times their body height, and can easily land, jumping from the highest height 15 meters will be safe and sound.
4. Rats are also mysterious animals. They have very high intelligence, keen insight and the ability to predict disasters in advance. When floods or earthquakes come, they will go to their nests and take refuge in trees, which is the same as ants moving before storms!
The once-in-a-thousand-year flood in Henan touches everyone's heart in China. While praying for the people of Henan, we also have some questions. How many houses, vehicles and property were washed away by the flood from the sky, and countless people were homeless? So where are those mice living in caves? Will they become extinct?
I don't know how many people still remember 1963 that "Hebei flood" caused us huge economic losses. According to some old people's memories, before the flood came, rats fled their caves collectively, some ran to higher mountains, some climbed trees, and a few days later the flood came. After the flood receded, the mouse returned to its hole.
So look carefully, the trees and mountains in Henan Province are rats. They use their predictive ability to escape to high places early, and even if they have no time to escape, they will not be submerged, because they can swim, hold their breath and bounce, which is impossible for human beings.
They can get enough food sources in the trees. There are so many mosquitoes on the branches this season that it is not difficult to hunt. Their amazing jumping ability and climbing ability make them come and go freely.
Old people in rural areas often say: "There will be mice after floods", which has scientific basis. Australia is a living example.
After a forest fire, COVID-19 was ushered in, and then COVID-19 was flooded. However, when the flood receded, it triggered a once-in-a-century rat disaster. Recently, Australia has indeed encountered some troubles.
And the flood is the culprit of rats!
Rats have a strong reproductive ability, and they can start breeding within a few months after birth, and each time they give birth to as many as 10. A lot of food was washed away after the flood. At this time, rats don't have to hide to find food, but go to the roadside in droves to feed. While they get enough food sources, they also speed up the reproductive cycle of mice, increasing the number of mice and eventually developing into mice.
In addition, the flood flooded the mouse's cave. They need to rebuild their homes, dig holes again and store winter food again, so some crops will suffer at this time.
This is the reason why rats are bound to suffer after the flood!
Rats can survive in the cruel competitive environment of nature, which shows that they have the ability to cope with all natural disasters. When the flood comes, they will run to trees or high places to avoid danger. After the flood recedes, they will rebuild their homes.
It should be pointed out that:
There will be rodents after the flood, so we must take precautions, make full preparations for post-disaster reconstruction, clean up the post-disaster environment in time, and put an end to rodents and plague!
Animals have the ability to predict natural disasters. When there is a flood, mice, snakes, ants and frogs will move abnormally. When the flood came, the animals had moved to higher ground several days in advance!
A once-in-a-thousand-year flood occurred in Henan Province. Fire and water are ruthless, one side is in trouble, and all sides support it. Through military-civilian cooperation, the losses were minimized. At present, the harm caused by floods has been controlled.
Some people care about the sufferings of human life, but I didn't expect others to care about mice. Where did all the mice go after such a big flood?
Some animals have the ability to predict natural disasters, such as mice, snakes, ants, chickens, dogs and so on.
Rats know in advance by forecasting before natural disasters come, and they will take measures to prevent disasters. For example, before the flood comes, rats first block their holes to protect their food, and then return to their homes after the flood recedes.
Second, when the flood comes, go as high as possible to ensure your own life safety. In the flood of 1963, people saw groups of mice climbing trees.
This method can only deal with ordinary rainstorm. I'm afraid that rats were not so lucky in this catastrophic flood disaster in Henan, because rats were not spared in such a violent rainstorm.
No matter how well the rats are blocked, no matter how high they climb, there will always be some rats doomed, their lives will be difficult to protect, and some rats will be drowned alive.
However, the reproductive capacity of mice is surprisingly high. When the number of mice decreases, they will excrete more eggs through self-stimulation, so that each fetus will have more babies, thus increasing racial reproduction in a short time and increasing the number of mice rapidly.
In the rainstorm and flood in Henan, the mice have moved to a safe place. Why are mice so clever?
I have read popular science articles before, and know that lovely mice have lived on this planet for more than 48 million years before humans appeared on this planet.
Because scientists found living fossils of mice, using fluorine.
It is certain that this mouse probably lives in earth times. Scientists found that the earliest mouse was named Oriental Dawn Mouse, 50 million years ago.
We humans have only 5,000 years of cultural civilization on this blue planet. This mouse is not beautiful in appearance. Some people think that the mouse is not suitable for it, which is horrible. In fact, the mouse is quite cute, and its playful little eyes force it to roll.
The survival ability of mice is stronger than ours. Mice have lived on the earth for 50 million years, and have high sensitivity, perception and prediction ability to the natural weather on the earth, which is tens of thousands of times more accurate than what humans and we humans have studied.
If storms, earthquakes and tsunamis are coming, mice have already perceived and predicted that if they move food and survival materials to a safe place a few days in advance, they will not run away and wait quietly for the disaster to pass.
The mouse elf is very clever. When we were at school, we heard the teacher say that small animals are born with early warning systems, which can obviously predict disasters. When the mouse itself is in a tree hole, it will have a sense of smell, keen sense and instinct to predict the abnormality in the air. The air is humid, and it is particularly cool at this time.
The mice warned in advance, so they moved the food to a safe place just before the rainstorm came. The mouse has been living with us until now, which shows that the mouse has two brushes.
Otherwise, mice have long been eliminated by the biological competition between the earth and nature. The cute and playful mouse can survive on the earth now, which proves that its survival ability is not worse than that of human beings, and even stronger than that of human beings.
They have super reproductive ability and have been bred for several generations. There are many mice living in fields and Woods now. The rainstorm in Henan province has come, and the mice have moved to a safe place. Maybe now the mouse is in a corner, watching us humans.
Rats may laugh at us human beings: how small human beings are in front of nature. We should fear our planet and nature! Love the living environment! Let this blue planet float in the universe forever. This is the only home where we live.
Bless everyone! see you again
When natural disasters occur, not only rats but also many animals run away. This may be the ability of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Don't worry about the flood in Henan. Where did the mouse go?
The first task of this flood in Henan is to rescue and provide disaster relief, minimize losses, prevent post-disaster secondary disasters and ensure the safety of people's lives. Severely punish the wicked who make disaster money.
When the weather is dry, mice actually like to stay underground. They can dig caves where water can't leak, and they can stay in the caves safely. However, the pressure of hunger forced many mice to run out in search of food.
The subway system is the most accessible human building when rats drill holes in the ground to find food. When the subway tunnel is flooded, the water will also flow into the mouse's nest with the small hole. Many mice will be trapped in the hole, among which the sick, old mice and the mother mice with cubs may all die of long-term hunger.
However, thousands of mice fled to the ground, many of them through the subway steps. Many mice are trapped on the ground, and trash cans and cars have become their shelters.
Rotten garbage, dead fish, rats and pigeons can be seen everywhere in drains and flooded streets. When night falls, full of mice will hide in the building and start digging holes to build new homes. They can drill into small holes with a width of only 1.3 cm, which is equivalent to the width of their skulls, although their body length can be as long as 46 cm.
Cats have cat lanes, rats have mouse lanes! Animals' perception of natural disasters really far exceeds that of humans. There is no doubt about it! As for where the mouse went. I believe that most of them have suffered this loss, or even finished. Some of them may have climbed high and escaped. But the strength of rats has never been to fight against natural disasters, but their super reproductive ability and unparalleled racial resilience. Even if the rats died on a large scale this time. As long as you are lucky, there are only a few fish that slip through the net! In two years, the army of rats will make a comeback [cover your face] [cover your face] [cover your face]
When there is a flood, mice will hide and go to a safe place, just like humans, except that their ability to predict the danger in advance exceeds that of humans.
Rats have a strong ability to survive and reproduce and a unique natural survival law. It is the king of survival in dark areas, an area where people shelter evil people and shelter evil practices, and underground. Rats usually gather together. There will be a large gathering place in an area. When catastrophe or population threat is imminent, they will leave the danger zone and begin to move to safe nests. Cities will hide in some safe deep holes inside sewers and drainage pipes to isolate the threat of water sources. Some of them will hide in high-rise buildings. In rural areas, towns, grasslands and other places, there are rat holes, and the depth of rat holes is unimaginable, even if there is a flood. Of course, in the event of sudden floods, there will be some ground-boring rodents that can't escape, but only a small part.
Some people say, oh, many people say that the mouse has long run away, right?
In fact, these people have forgotten an agricultural proverb, "A little heat in summer will kill a mouse." This refers to the field mouse.
Many mice who stayed in the hole drowned, but of course, some escaped.
