You must be seeing humans driving cars every day. You must have seen monkeys driving cars in films. But have you ever seen rats driving a car? Recently scientists trained rats to drive cars. Seeing this scene no one could believe their eyes. You might also be wondering how was this possible? Let us give you more information about it.
According to the Daily Star News website, America’s University of Richmond has taught a group of rats to drive small cars made of plastic. In return, they give them Froot Loops brand cereal to eat, which is made from grains. Let us tell you how this became possible. Actually, Dr. Kelly Lambert, the lead scientist of this study, said that the brain of rats is like that of humans. They have the ability to learn any skill quickly.
First of all, scientists made a small plastic car which could run on electricity. He had put an aluminum plate in the plastic box and then also put wheels in it. Then copper wire was installed in that box. To drive the car, rats sit on the aluminum plate and touch the copper wire. With this the circuit is completed and the vehicle starts moving. Rats can choose their own direction.
Scientists found that rats who live among toys and other rats learn to drive more easily. They also found that rats get a lot of motivation to drive. The doctor said that he thought that rats liked dirt, stones and plastic things more. But now we are able to see that rats are driving plastic cars.
