5 chilling facts about the normal rats Bashny.Net

It would seem - well, that in rats so terrible? For example, not all of them seem cute little animals and touching - but that at the sight of some unfortunate rodent heart-rending scream and scramble for tables and chairs ...
Do not tell. We know of at least five reasons to justify such a reaction.




1. It is still up to you will get



Monsters of the classic horror frightening, not only and not so much bloodlust. They are virtually unstoppable - this is what causes us to press in the chair. You can latch on to any number of locks and take any precautions, but if Jason from "Friday the 13th" Freddy from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" or some "The Woman in Black" have announced to you hunt, chances are you ... you You understand. With the rats - the same story. Though in a cake hurt himself, thinking how to protect them from the house, but if a rat decided to come back to visit you - she does, to be sure. Rat does not cost anything to climb on any ventilation. Let's say you have provided this opportunity and plugged all the holes. However, as it turned out in the course of the study (.pdf), a small rat does not cost anything to lift an object weighing more than 0, 5 kg if it suspects that the other side of parquet appetizing. They are able to squeeze into the tiny hole - a diameter of not more than a quarter of the circumference of the rat. It is almost ready the T-1000 in the second part of the Terminator: steel cover its network and it will seep between the bars, do not have time to blink an eye. They have another favorite way to penetrate into our homes - the pipes. And four centimeters in diameter, it is enough. And yet - they are champions in swimming. Putting these two skills and have an animal that one day could come up out of your toilet. And such cases are not uncommon. Let's say you had managed to block them, and this opportunity - so what? If they took for you, they progryzut itself a separate entrance through the wall, they shall not lose anything. Nature (probably to keep us on our toes) awarded rats are incredibly strong, even for rodents, the muscles of the jaw. And while some bunny peacefully gnaws bark of a tree, these small creatures Give bricks, cement and even lead. Their incisors grow all his life, and they have no other choice but to grind them constantly.

2. They multiply with incredible speed



Another kind of kinomonstrov characterized in that at an incredible rate spreads population similar. Usually it extraterrestrial beings who intend in record time a flood the whole Earth. They may look like shapeless amoeba meat and teeth, multiply by division, or as a hideous winged monster, laying eggs in human bodies. Invariably one thing - they quickly multiply. This group includes "Aliens" by James Cameron, "Something" by John Carpenter and ... well, our rats. One pair of rodents 2-3 years of his life manages to give birth to cubs 6000. It does not take three months, as a new offspring, too, begins to multiply, and so on. And they have not accepted to the younger generation goes to look for a better life in foreign lands. If enough food, they will not move from their seats until the flood the whole city. In fact, many regions that are saved on pest control during the recession, have experienced a real rat baby boom. Now Britain's rat population is about 80 million, which is 200 percent more than in 2007. And even with all the modern methods of pest control in New York for one person has at least one rat.

3. They are champions in the game of hide and seek



Kinomonstry - master of disguise: they either attack from behind a corner, or manage to go unnoticed in front of everybody. Cthulhu is hidden at the bottom of the sea, Freddy Krueger exists as an abstract concept in the nightmares of his victims, and the Predators can become invisible in the literal sense. Then everything as written with rats. This does not mean that finding a rat in your house settled - a difficult task. This means that there may be powerless even a team of trained specialists, armed with the latest technological developments. We know what they say. A group of scientists, hoping to learn something new about the life and movements of rodents, drove one single rat named Rasputin on the lonely island near New Zealand, which before the rats were not found. Previously they took a DNA sample of the ward. Then put on a special electronic collar rat, and studied for four weeks, where the rat sleeps, where eating, what routes moves and stuff like that. Then scientists decided for some reason that rat catch. Despite the pitfalls (there were more than three dozen), despite all the lures and tricks, despite the efforts of two specially trained dogs, they did not work out. Worse, in some point I ceased to do with the radio device attached to the animal, and hope to find a rodent dissipated like smoke. Surprisingly, Rasputin still found: after 18 weeks, and on another island - about half a kilometer from where he was released. Nobody knew that rats can swim so far.

4. They are indestructible



This quality unites many kinomonstrov, especially serials: Kill them, kill - and to enter the next part of it again like new. So where does a rat, you ask. Common rodents. There was no hint of immortality. They can be anything, but consider them as invincible - this is too much. However ... What we know is the surest way to kill the rat? Poison? So. When rats are food security is not assured, they first try (.pdf) it - just a little bit. And if you feel like something is wrong, more to this food not touch. They are well aware of our insidious plans and know how to destroy them. In addition, we are increasingly faced with a completely new species of these creatures, which scientists have dubbed "superkrysami mutants", which has almost no poison takes.

5. They want your blood



We got to the last one of the most heinous kinds of monsters, which has only one purpose - to drink your blood. Any zombies, vampires, werewolves and even "Jaws" - the most motivated of the monsters presented in this article. Because you believe delicious. And then the rat is not an exception. Everyone knows that the rat is not averse to profit carrion. And yet it is believed that they are completely illegible in the food. But it is not so. There's something to what they feed a special weakness - human blood. And if a rat once tried this "goodies" that will not rest until he gets to it again. Scientists studying rats 22, argue that the best chance to get a bite of rat to the period between midnight and eight o'clock in the morning while you are sleeping peacefully in his bed, not knowing that this contagious thing is about clinging to you in person. And this is not an exaggeration: the rats often bite the face or hands. And that you do not have spiders that bite once and all. If you are bitten by a rat once, there is indeed a strong possibility that she will want to continue the feast. And it is not necessarily biting for self-protection or fear and not even because hungry. She just wants your blood. Literally. In 1945, Professor Karl Richter conducted a study whose purpose was to find out: that this attracts rats to humans. He gave rats access to a large number of human blood. Within 24 hours of rodents drank every drop - and this was four times the usual daily volume for their food! That conclusion Richter, word for word: "Rats can really develop a strong craving for fresh human blood».
