The team of Anhui Normal University conducted a scientific research on small mammals in Qingliangfeng National Nature Reserve in Anhui Province from 20191to 12, and was pleasantly surprised to find a new species, its name is pig-tailed rat. As the name implies, the biggest feature of the pig-tailed rat is that its tail is like a pig's tail, which is longer than its body. There is a tuft of hair at the end of its tail, which is white and easy to identify if it meets. ?

This new species is discovered for the first time, but in fact, the pig-tailed rat has always existed, but it was not found in Anhui before. It's found in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Fujian and other places, and it's a mouse after all, but its appearance is not as good as it looks? Meng? Occasionally, people will shout and fight, and there are many surviving species, not endangered species. At present, there are dozens of endangered animals in China, such as elk, South China tiger, snow leopard, Chinese alligator, baiji, giant panda, black rhinoceros, finger monkey, woolly spider monkey, Yunnan golden monkey, wild golden monkey, white-browed long-armed monkey, Tibetan antelope, Siberian tiger, crested ibis, Asian elephant and white crane. Some are thousands, others are only thousands. Although this species, such as pigtail rat, is a newly discovered species, considering its wide distribution and large number, and it appears in some protected areas, it has a certain tolerance for habitat change, so the speed of population change is unlikely to reach a threatened level. ?

Although the pig-tailed rat photographed in the picture is so big, it is actually only the size of an ordinary house mouse, which is similar to our common pet guinea pig. When it removes Betrox's filter, most people can't help but kill it when they see it. It looks like an ordinary mouse. When they see it, don't mention any new species Just what it looks like, they can basically give it a nest, and finally they want to shoot it to death. This is why most kinds of rodents have not been found as new species: people have never paid attention to them before, but they have always lived there and never moved their nests. Pig-tailed rats can also make holes, and they are good at making holes. Besides, it prefers to bark. When it is underground, it locates by echo. It is a vegetarian most of the time. As far as crops are concerned, it is not an exaggeration to regard them as four pests, but they are slightly rarer than other house mice and field mice, so they can have a name.
