Rats are hyperactive and adaptable species. From past several years, they have learned new skills and have become quite efficient to adjust to changing environments. As these rodents are large and sharp enough, so they are also observed to kill a mouse and other tiny rodents. So many scientists have studied this phenomenon where rats are known to kill mice, and this act is named as muricide. This phenomenon leaves a major impact on the genetic development of mice species as well.



Now you might be interested to know why Glendale rats kill mice. If we pick facts from rat behavior, they often kill these smaller rodents just to complete their diet.

They often prefer to leave their bite on the head and neck area of the mice as it may cause immediate death of the rodent. However, they can also cause a successful attack k on the back portion of mice. Rats always stay active enough to catch their prey quickly, but many mouse species are also trained enough to stay safe from such attacks as they have also learned new skills with time.

Although rats are not able to consume complete carcass of Glendale mice, they can easily eat up most of the parts. They can easily digest neck, brain, liver and many other organs of mice. However, depending on the foodstuff available around and level of hunger, rats can also consume carcass of mice if needed.

As Glendale rats have been killing mice for a long time, so with time these tiny rodents have also developed a natural fear from rats, and they prefer to avoid these enemies. Mice can easily predict the presence of a rat in a certain area by smelling its urine marks and feces, if it encounters the smell from a nearby location, it will soon run away to a safer location.
