The term "guinea pig" should be familiar to everyone. So what was your first reaction? Is it a white, chubby little mouse, or a lab resident mouse?
Mice have a docile personality and high appearance, and are one of the small pets loved by people. Compared with other mice, the mouse is Bai Fumei, Jerry's dream lover.
In fact, most people have an inherent impression of mice because of their name, that is, mice are white. However, mice are hairy, such as black, brown, yellow, chocolate, gray, etc., but the appearance of white rats is higher, so the play rats are mostly white.
Some friends have been curious about mice, why is it a laboratory resident mouse?
This is mainly because the genetic sequence of mice is similar to humans, and when various experiments in medicine, food, medicine and other aspects are done, the results have higher credibility. Moreover, mice have a strong reproductive ability and a short gestation period. Under artificial breeding, even if the experimental consumption is large, the number of mice is still sufficient.
In addition to experimenting and playing, mice are also a reserve food for some carnivorous and precious animals. The most common are snakes, large lizards, etc.
In this way, the rat life of the guinea pig is still very valuable. Some of them have made outstanding contributions to human breakthroughs in biomedicine; The other part is the continuation of self-sacrifice for species that cherish animals; There is also a part that entertains people's bodies and minds with their own beauty.
Guinea pig, you are a good rat! I like you! (Implied)
