Rats Enjoy Driving Toy Cars: New Study Reveals Surprising Insights into Joy
🚗 Surprising Joy in Driving: Scientists at the University of Richmond have made an unexpected discovery—rats love driving toy cars! It turns out that the pleasure these rodents experience isn't just about the reward at the end of the journey but the act of driving itself.
