We often hear a saying: "Northerners eat large coarse grains, and southerners eat fine chaff".
This sentence sounds a bit ridiculous, among which "big coarse grains" and "fine chaff" make listeners can't help but think that the grains in the north and south are rice and wheat respectively, and even the rats have to be divided into north and south.
So, what is the difference between a northern rat and a southern rat?
Rats are already very obscene and disgusting, and the difference between the north and south rats is just a difference in size, can there be any earth-shaking changes because of this?
"Fine chaff" of the southern rat.
People seem to have the impression of southern rats as "industrious and brave", because the rice in the south does not need to be cultivated, just sprinkle the rice seeds on the water, and the rice seeds will sprout into seedlings, but this does not seem to be the case in the eyes of the rats, because the rice fields in the south seem to make the rats more violent.
There is such a video circulating on the Internet:
A girl was walking on the edge of the rice field, and suddenly a mouse came out from behind, and came to the girl's feet to stop the waist and sweep the legs, which really startled the girl, and then was directly taken to the ground by the mouse, this scene was filmed by passers-by and then spread to the Internet.
It can be seen that even rats have strong walking skills.
Rats in the south seem to be very good at taking advantage of the environment, and rats like this coming out of the rice fields will not only "hit" people, but also passers-by in the video who come down in the video are still scared.
Southern rats have extremely flexible bodies, and they will not only use the environment to protect themselves, but also to attack.
Southern rats have a very violent temperament, and more than one thing has been filmed about rats that suddenly come out of the rice fields to attack people like this.
Whether it's seen on the video or the "rat fuss" that wakes you up, the rats in the south seem to be related to "fussing".
Southern rats will hardly silence people at night or during the day, waking you up or taking you to the rice fields.
The rats in the south can also engage in "partner combat", and a rat like this is already scary, but what if there is another one?
People may be more afraid of the cooperation of two rats, in the rice field, a mouse out of the rice field is very scary, in front of the mouse just passed, next to another out of the grass.
It's like with the cooperation of rats in both directions, people may be really frightened and speechless, and their legs and feet will be weak and they will fall directly into the rice field, and be taken away by the two mice.
This scene is like a scene from a horror movie, and I heard that in order to take care of their bodies, the workers in the rice fields have to wear long boots when they enter the paddy fields, and even do manual work must be matched and protected.
In the end, it is not the rats that disturb the work of the staff, but the rats that disturb their hearts, making them also rush and tremble when they work.
Rats are most dangerous in the wild, but in the rice fields, in order to prevent rats from drowning in the rice fields in the summer, farmers tend to drain the rice fields, and many insects are attracted at this time.
Farmers will use some industrious birds to get the birds to help them eat the insects, and if that's not enough, farmers may even use rats to drive away mice.
This is the "enemy" of rats - birds.
Birds are one of the natural enemies of rats, in the southern rice fields, rats and birds will fight because of the competition for food, the rats in the southern rice fields do not seem to fight birds, but try to escape like Xiaoqiang.
"Coarse grains" of northern rats.
The rats in the south are so violent, aren't the rats in the north afraid?
On the Internet, the impression of northern rats does not seem to be as violent as that of southern rats.
Most of the rats in the north are musculos, and the mus mus is very small, but the temperament of the mus mus is relatively timid.
What kind of rat is the person who bothers you at home?
Generally it is a small house mouse, and in the early hours of the morning, the mouse moves around the wall, making you think that there is a ghost crawling on the wall, but in fact the house mouse is looking for food.
Generally, people's impression of the musculus is to eat leftovers, which shows that the market atmosphere of the mus mouse is very heavy.
Mus mus are small mus with a thin stature, especially compared to the brown mus in the south, which are more like they have been starved and thin.
The little house mouse is very afraid of light when it comes out at night, and will run when it sees light like a mouse sees a cat, and when it runs, it is more timid because of the fear of light, and its movements are relatively slow.
Mus mus are very scared to grab food with humans at home and birds in the wild, not to mention that in the overgrown southern rice fields, compared with the nimble wild brown mice, the mus mus is unlikely to live better.
In an overgrown environment, rats can be protected, and birds are not easy to find mice, but once in the paddy field, when encountering the humid environment of the paddy field, the weeds will drown no matter how tall they grow, and they can only come out at night.
The little mus mouse looks a little helpless, but in fact, the little mus mouse is not bad.
Mus mus originally live in the north, so it is no problem for them to live in a northern environment.
The environment in the north is often drier and there are not many weeds, which is suitable for the survival of mus muscule.
Mus mus are originally inclined to eat leftovers, and the environment in the north does not have the insects in the rice fields in the south, but the mus mus will eat the insects on the plants, which will not affect the growth of the plants.
In winter, the northern snow buries plant seeds in the ground, and Mus mus mus becomes active because they hibernate and it is often difficult to find anything to eat during hibernation.
So in the spring and fall, the rats multiply in large numbers to replenish their food reserves.
The environment in the north is different from that in the south, and although birds are still the "enemies" of northern rats, most northern rats are rarely used as food by birds due to their size.
Differences between northern and southern rats.
So what's the difference between the North and South rats?
Is it just a matter of size?
This is also too surprising, is there such a big difference between the northern and southern rats?
Rats, which can be disturbing day and night, seem to be much more spectacular, but are there only differences in size and temperament?
There should be other differences between the northern and southern rats!
The brown house mouse in the south and the small house mouse in the north do not belong to the same breed in essence, the south is mainly the brown house mouse, and the north is mainly the small house mouse.
The brown mus rat is relatively large, while the small mus mouse is relatively small, which is the reason for the difference in size and temperament between the northern and southern mice.
According to the research results of scientists, the difference in size between the northern and southern mice and the adaptability of the environment may have a great relationship.
Usually, animals with large sizes indicate that their ancestors lived in colder places.
Because the environment in that place is colder, the animals need to retain more heat.
The environment in the north tends to be colder, but the mus mus lives in them, because the mus mus evolved to appear in the north.
According to the origins, scientists have found that the ancestors of mus musculus lived even in North Africa at the earliest, so the samples of these mus mus are the earliest.
Because the environment in the north and south is different, the way mice have evolved will also be different, because the environment in the south is warmer and hotter, the animals will become more luxuriant in this environment, so the brown rat in the south will be larger.
The next generation of rats bred in the south is more likely to have relatively smaller house mice, which also leads to the obvious difference in size between the northern and southern mice.
However, it is not because of the difference in size that there will necessarily be a difference in temperament.
For example, the wild brown rats are very fierce, and their temperament is very fierce, but the house mice are not like this.
Because the mus mus is a breed bred by humans, it is very cherished, and most of the mus mus are used to make guinea pigs, and their temperament is also very gentle.
epilogue
There are some differences between the northern and southern rats, but these differences are not as exaggerated as people have communicated.
The brown rats in the south are very strong does not mean that the small house mice in the north must be cowardly, they are mainly because of the different body sizes, some adaptive behavior differences, and the northern and southern mice are more adapted to their respective living environments.
The southern Mus mus has relatively strong survival skills and the ability to take advantage of the environment, while the northern Mus mus is the most suitable for survival in a warm and dry environment.
