The Rat’s whiskers are highly sensitive to touch, they brush over the ground, obstacles, food, and other rats. When they bend, it’s follicles send messages to the rat’s brain.
The Rat’s incisors are the four long, sharp front teeth, they use them for gnawing and for grinding food prior to swallowing it.
