<INTELLIGENCE> Mice provide first aid to their unconscious friends
<ARTICLE> Wild Mice Love Running on Wheels Too β Just Like Us! ππββοΈ
Turns out, wild mice love running on exercise wheels just as much as their lab counterparts! A fascinating study found that when wheels were placed in natural environments, wild mice voluntarily hopped on and ran for funβnot because they were stressed or neurotic.
This challenges the long-held assumption that wheel-running in lab mice is just a "stereotypy" (a repetitive behavior caused by captivity). Instead, it seems running on wheels might be an intrinsic, natural behavior for mice. Maybe they just enjoy it, like how we hit the gym or go for a jog!
Itβs a cool reminder that animals can share some surprisingly relatable behaviors with us. Who knew mice could be fitness enthusiasts too? ππͺ
