Picture 1 of The mouse knows stilts

The smallest copper rat in Europe uses 2 stalks of rice or grass to make stilts.

Hamsters use stilts to detect enemies from afar.

Thanks to the height advantage, the mouse easily detects danger from a distance. According to rodent experts, the soles of their feet are very sensitive.

As the predator approaches, it will create vibrations on the ground and transfer to the trunk that the mouse is standing on.
