Previously, if the sailors saw that the rats were starting to leave the ship just before they left, wait for trouble.
A ship that rodents leave is likely to fall into a storm or stumble upon a reef.
So why are the rats the first to flee the ship? Modern scientists still can not come to a consensus.
According to one version, rats are well aware of low-frequency vibrations occurring in the aquatic environment some time before the storm.
Jellyfish have the same ability.
They have hearing organs located on the edge of the dome that are sensitive to vibrations.
Like a horn, the dome amplifies the low-frequency sounds at times - this allows the jellyfish to go deep in time. But in the case of rats, everything is not so obvious.
During World War II, they noticed that rodents can feel not only the storm that erupts in the future, but also other misfortunes that await the ship.
For example, a torpedo attack. In Murmansk, an entire investigation was undertaken at that time - the military authorities wanted to find out why the sailors are constantly trying to transfer from ship to ship, which sometimes is not even properly armed and not so fast.
But it turned out that people left the ships behind the rats.
Sailors noticed that those ships that were abandoned by rodents are more likely to meet with German substrates and do not return to their destination.
And no matter how the commanders tried to prove that the rats could not foresee the future, the sailors, by hook or by crook, tried to transfer from the ship. How rats could know about the deaths of ships is a mystery.
But here is another example that confirms the rodent phenomenon — rats practically “left the line” of Stalingrad shortly before the city was attacked by the Germans.
