Mind-Blowing Fact
Rat Race.
Researchers trained 17 rats to drive miniature vehicles by having them stand on an aluminum floor and hold copper bars with their paws, completing a circuit to move the car. The rats were able to steer the cars by touching the left, center or right bar, in order to navigate towards a reward of Froot Loops cereal in the test arena.
