I use to take care of some Charles River rats. They were second
generation
cesarian delivered rats, After the first experiment they were to be
disposed of. Some we took to a snake farm where they made treats for
rattle snakes the size of stove pipes.
We tested several batches to find out if rats can swim without there
wiskers, Have you ever tried it??

Nope. Why were you interested in whether or not they could swim without
their whiskers?

Worked with a couple of PHDs psychologist ( check the spelling on
that) that said they could not. It turned out to be true. The rats
need the whiskers to know where there nose is. If they don't know it
goes under water more and they drown. These were big fat dumb white
rats, never had the chance to test it on whild rats.
