Rats Laugh When You Tickle Them

http://www.FreeScienceLectures.com

Scientists listened to animals playing and they noticed something that appeared to them to be laughter. They studied this behavior for couple of years before acturally realizing that it is laughter.

Soon they got a device which transformed higher frequency sounds to frequencies our auditory system can hear.

So they developed a way to ask these rats if they liked being tickled and the answer was definite yes!

This is either pure genius or pure madness. There is such a fine line between the two.

It's sad. I can't look up rat videos anymore without seeing comments about people hating them.

These animals are incredible. In addition to laughing, they also display something similar when a cagemate dies. They are very intelligent, and loving.

Wild rats are often dirty, of course. Then again, so are many animals. That doesn't mean we should hate them with all of our guts.

Wow

@rlaycock only wild rats are dirty because of the environments they are forced to live in ,we create the dirt they live in it as natural habitats would be overwhelmed by thier population, because we take up much of the land. and cats arent that great, they also kill small birds and have become the reson for some bird species to decline , they dont eat thier kills, and they usually arent as loyal as a dog

Aw they are so cute! hehehe How did they ask them if they liked being tickled? Did they work out the rat language?

@rlaycock Your logic is flawed. If rats are dirty vermin, why do so many people have them for pets? If rats are dirty than more people who have rats as pets would be sick all the time. If rats are dirty than they would be outlawed as pets due to health reasons. You have no facts and therefor your statement is flawed and inaccurate. Now if you were to say some wild rats are dirty I would agree.
