No, it's not PR operation, and no, Sarah Jessica Parker does not have anything of interest to to say about the matter.
Squirrels are obviously very different from, and much smarter than rats. Their appearance and grooming are a reflection of this deeper fact, not simply a gimmick or an accident.
What a silly article.
- blacklion 4y agoRats are social animals and much smarter than most of rodents (including squirrels). Trust me, my mother was behavioral biologist, and she experimented with both rats (black rats, Rattus rattus) and red (European) squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris).
- akhmatova 4y agoI'll have to take the subject up with your mom, then. On the surface, at least, almost everything that squirrels do (from their manual dexterity to their nest building and food storage) suggests that they operate on a higher plane than rats.
- blacklion 4y agoTypical old-skool behavioral test, like maze solving, button mashing (with food reinforcement), and alike, are much better passed by rats. Maybe, it is wrong tests, there are some discussion in this field how we (humans) should asset animal intelligence.
