Rat or mouse?

[marko_the_rat]

How good are my friends at telling rats and mice apart? Do this quiz and find out! I got 12 out of 12! *puffs out his furry chest in pride* (Let's hear no more about the suggestion that my totem is actually the kangaroo...)

12/12 ^_^
I find it hard to believe today when people mix em up. I remember hissing at Encarta Encylopedia one year when they had a mouse pic for the rat section.

Hey Marko, try this one:

Right you are. It certainly sorts out the rats from the mice. I only got 9 out of 12.

[darqrat.livejournal.com]

I expect nothing less from a mouse. ^_^

12/12. My rat bf only got 9. Heh.

[marko-the-rat.livejournal.com]

Your rat boyfriend only got 9/12. But he's not the one who gets his rat credentials questioned...

[ristin.livejournal.com]

...(grr!)

You misunderstood completely. Now I need to explain again in LJ huh? Fine.

I was saying that each furry like you and I that feels an attachment to a totem is in various ways suited to that totem. "predisposed" to empathising with that animal and/or being chosen by the spirit/guide/essence of that totem animal.

I wasn't questioning your rathood at all, I was just mentioning what parts of your personality I thought were suitable to you being chosen BY RAT to have rat as your totem.

*(sheesh!)* Rats and their persecution complexes...

11 out of 12. Hey, I'm not so bad at this!

[kendermouse.livejournal.com]

and the mouse did TOO! ::wheeeee!:: 12 out of 12 (even if one was actually a gerbil - i think)

thanks for the link, that was fun!

peace,
the kendermouse (SQUEAK!)

Thats what I thought..

[artemisgallow.livejournal.com]

I used to raise gerbils and one of those photos was pretty gerbil like, I think we've been cheated!

Re: Thats what I thought..

[marko-the-rat.livejournal.com]

I don't mind as long as they called the gerbil a mouse. ;)

[nicodemusrat.livejournal.com]

Aw, man, I got 11/12. Was goin' too fast, I think.

On the harder rat species quiz, I got 11/12 too. So I guess they balance out. :> (Or at least my error rate is consistent.)

[peromyscus.livejournal.com]

Haven't heard of roof rats before like in the quiz. In North America we have wood rats, cotton rats and a marsh rice rat in the wild. An interesting rat is the bushy tailed woodrat, with a squirrel like tail, the "Neotoma Cinera", the one that became known as the "pack rat", due to it carrying off shiny objects to it's nest.

[nicodemusrat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, roof rats are not common here; the brown rat almost always forces them out of territory. Those are the only ones (AFAIK) actually in the rat genus rattus.

I have to agree, woodrats are cool. Very cute li'l guys.

12/12 here. :)

[artemisgallow.livejournal.com]

Hmm,

11/12, I guess what they say about changing your answers is right, I shoulda left it alone ^^;
