"In a recent study, researchers put one rat in an uncomfortably small, confined space that can be opened by another rat on the outside. The Outside Rat would figure out how to release the Trapped Rat when they made sounds of distress. Even when the researchers distracted the Outside Rat with treats, it would save a treat for the Trapped Rat when it let it out. Basically proving that rats have empathy.
Which I already knew, I love rats. They make amazing pets, clean & smart. It's just a damn shame that they only live about 3-4 years on average. Plenty of time to break your heart, but definitely not long enough."
I've read this one before and I still wonder, did anyone actually see the other animals come back out? Like are we really sure the wombats weren't luring the other animals in to be eaten? Maybe wombats are actually vicious predators are they've managed to make us all believe that they are just cute and caring...
Umm... yeah. They have pictures and videos of the animals in the caves. Wombats are HUGE and vegetarian (as far as I know), and dig very big caverns.
