#Rats are excellent swimmers and can swim up to 1.5 kilometres in open water. They can survive in the water for up to three days at a time. Hantaviruses are a group of viruses carried by #rodents, such as #mice and rats. Rodents infected with hantavirus do not usually show signs of illness.

One passenger’s body remains on board. Rats, which might contract the virus, could lead to #hantavirus becoming endemic in the Canary Islands.

Who is making those decisions?

🐭🎶 Researchers at the University of #Lausanne found that Alston's #singing #mice use an inflatable sac to create their whistling #songs. Unlike other #animals that use air sacs to amplify noise, these #rodents require them to generate the sound itself.
