What popular Hindu Deity rides a rat?
Extra credit for naming the rat! Lord Ganesa rides everywhere on his devoted rat, Muushika. 5. Name a country that has a “Tooth Rat” instead of a Tooth Fairy. Extra credit for each country you can name! You’ve got me stumped here — Germany’s not on my list. France has La Petite Souris and Spain has Ratoncito Perez, so I suppose Germany might have a tooth rodent, too. According to Throw Your Tooth on the Roof: Tooth Traditions from Around the World by Selby B. Beeler, tooth rodents are very common. A few other countries with Tooth Rats are Mexico, Haiti, Guatemala, Colombia, Uganda and Bangladesh. 6. What is a “rat king”? A rat king is an rare and unfortunate happening where a group of rats somehow manage to get their tails tangled together in a knot. Whether they’re born that way or somehow do it on purpose or by accident has yet to be determined. Check out this neat sculpture. I want a full-size copy for my living room!
