Adorable Pet Rats Driving Cars Noah Kahan's Busyhead Project

0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, Johnny Mack with Five Good News Stories. Two Canadians are delighting animal lovers on Instagram. They're sharing videos of their pet rats. Yes, pet rats. What about the pet rats. Well, they're driving around in little cars, as pet rats do. Kendall and Sean ended up adopting two rats from the local animal shelter. Now I know last episode I told you you know, it's always great to get a shelter animal. I was thinking dog, maybe cat, rabbit. I wasn't thinking rats, But okay, I mean the rats need a home too. Thank you, Kendall and Sean. They recalled being impressed by the ragged rescued rats curiosity even from within their cage at a shelter. They adopted Kronk and Cusco, and after their bass that night, the rats seem to snuggle right up to the humans in bed. What five Good News Stories has learned, Like all social animals adopted to live in human society, domesticated rats are very smart, but they need stimulation to thrive. Meanwhile, at the University of Richmond, scientists, rather than spend time on the climate emergency, taught rats to drive tiny cars. They've found the experience of learning and acquiring mastery of a new skill decreased the rats stress hormones. Kusku and Kronk were given two little electric cars. This separate from the study. The scientists aren't that deep into this.

1:25 Each electric car has three levers which allow the rats to control their direction. It took one day for the two rats to learn they could use the middle lever to go forward, and after a week they master turning a little car with the levers on the side. Soon they'll be your uber driver, Sean told the BCTV News. Their ability to conceptualize where they are, just as humans do when they're driving, is pretty incredible. You know, given the average driver in the Gordon State Parkway, I think I'd rather follow their rats. Noah Khan do you know who that is? He's like this super popular musician. He's got that song stick season us oldies Noah him. All the twenty somethings love him. Yeah. Noah launched the Busy Head Project, a fundraising initiative housed under the Vermont Community Foundation that provides grant money to community organizations across the country, helping to provide access to mental health support The goal was to raise a million dollars in one year, but within the first twelve months it hit two million dollars. The funds coming from a portion of ticket sales, direct donations from fans, and offerings like livestream tickets to sold out concerts. A nice job, Noah.

Posters resembling roarsatch ink block tests have appeared in various locations around Wichita. City officials say they are stumped what's going on. This is like the the chrome monoliths that I've been showing up. So far, no one has come forward to claim responsibility for the ink block tests. The local officials say they don't consider the artworks to be vandalism. No laws have been violated. The Wichita Art Museum says they have no idea who might be putting up the posters, but point out the prospect of a new street artist in town is exciting.
