Rat Vocalization in Social Encounters
| Challenge: | Discovery | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Niagara | | City: | St. Catharines, ON | | School: | Sir Winston Churchill | | Abstract: | Rats emit vocalizations at an ultrasonic level. I put seven rats into two situations: a double rat and single rat situation. After recording and analyzing their vocalizations I was able to complete statistical analysis that showed a significantly higher frequency in the second call emitted in a social encounter as well that rats vocalize significantly more when together. |
