Витривалість без води різниться між видами гризунів | Water-Deprivation Tolerance Varies Among Rodents

Some desert rodents can cope without drinking better than laboratory rats, but “rats tolerate thirst better than many animals” is too broad. A comparative study of six rodent species found that their responses to water deprivation depended on species and temperature: desert species maintained body weight at room temperature, while laboratory rats belonged to a different group. This does not mean pet rats can safely be left without water; they need continuous access to drinking water. The illustration was created with AI.
