Found an interesting 'Small Animal' Website

I just came across this Small Animal website and thought I'd share:

No Cheese- I'm A Mouse

Article:

Mice, it seems, get cheesed off with cheese and would much prefer chocolate.

According to scientists, mice don't like cheese after all and would rather have food with high sugar content.

The subject has been exercising researchers from Manchester Metropolitan University and the Stilton Cheese Makers Association.

As part of a wider study into animals and food, they found that a mouse's diet is primarily made up of grains and fruit.

It found that they would reject something as strong in smell and rich in taste as cheese.

Dr David Holmes, an animal behaviourist from the university, said: "Clearly the supposition of mice liking cheese is a popular premise.

"Mice have evolved almost entirely without cheese or anything resembling it.

"Mice respond to the smell, texture and taste of food and cheese is something that would not be available to them in their natural environment and therefore not something that they would respond to."

Nigel White of the Stilton Cheese Makers Association said: "Blue Stilton cheese has a very distinctive aroma and has a huge fan base across the world but mice are clearly not among that."

Or even cheddar, it seems.

There's a Rodent World?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/joyfuljoy/102026516/

WOW, I'd love to visit here.

The only info with the photo says "The entrance to Rodent World at the Zoobic Park of Subic Bay Freeport Zone" I have no idea what that means however.

Anyone know where this is? Or has anyone visited here? Anywhere i can get more info on it?

Ps... sometimes i am unable to download a photo from Flickr, does anyone know how i can accomplish this? I think someone once told me how to but i can't remember now. Any help would be appreciated.

BIG ONE!


OMG lol. I'm not sure what type of rodent this is, there was no info with the photo. Anyone know? It's on the tip of my tongue! Great photo!
