Is it true about gerbils?
96990
Rumors of gerbil (and mouse or hamster) stuffing have been circulating since about 1982. In 1984, a Denver weekly said it had a confirmed report of gerbilectomy in a local emergency room.\n\nThe Manhattan publication New York Talk reported several years ago that New York doctors first caught on to stuffing when they started encountering patients with infections previously found only in rodents.\n\nBut no such case has ever found its way into the formal literature of medicine. Having investigated the matter in some depth, I am inclined to write the whole thing off as an urban legend.

yes because of their hard shell.rats can survive too.

Yes, they do.  They eat frogs, clams, mice, rabbits, white grubs and beetles.

Sure they can!  \n\nYou wouldn't believe how many tiny critters live on (and in) all of the living things that we can see...\n\nFor example; In, and on, your body there are TRILLIONS of little guys that call you home. The same is basically true for all living things (plants included), and some of these guys are clearly parasitic, though luckily, most are helpful, and many are even necessary for our survival. That's right; we need them, but they don't need us!\n\nMy favorite "Wow" tidbit I give my students: There are more cells of OTHER critters within (and on) you than there are cells OF you... by a factor of 10!

Looking at your previous questions before daring to answer this one, I see you want to be a foster parent.  I believe a gerbil in your husbands a##hole is better than foster children in your house.

No. Besides humans, only other great apes exhibit menstrual cycles, in contrast to the estrus cycle of most mammalian species.

It's not true. They just smell that way. ;-)

Gerbilling, or gerbil stuffing, refers to the supposed sexual practice of inserting small animals, usually gerbils but also mice, into the anus. Despite apparently widespread public belief and persistent rumours, especially in the 1980s, no verified medical evidence of gerbilling exists; its status is that of an urban legend.\n\nClick link below for further information, including a mention of the South Park Episode you mentioned:

Lemmings, but it's a myth. They don't really do that.

There are mammals that weigh less than 2 gram.\n\nSome shrews fight for first place weighing less than two grams. One of them is the pygmy Shrew Suncus etruscus. It's been weighed at 1.2-2.7 g, and a length of 36-53 mm.\n\nThen there is the bumblebee bat, which weighs in around 2 grams - definitely heavier, but still.

Squirrels.  Chipmunks.  People.  Orangutans.  Stuff like that.

HAHAHAHAHAHA omg... seeing all your other questions then seeing this one? TOO FUNNY! ... Thanks Darius I needed to laugh today:)\n\nOkay, okay, okay, here is my real answer hope it helps....\n\nHow do porcupines make love? You would probably think the answer is "very carefully," but you would probably be wrong. The answer is more improbable and much more bizarre than that. I will explain further.... So the next time a friend asks you how porcupines make love, you can set them straight by describing these events (in as much detail as you dare). \n\nAnimals...\nIn the 1940's some ppl did a study on the sex life of a porcupine. They were kept in the Biology Dept. at the University of Buffalo. The colony consisted of 5 females (Maudie, Nightie, Prickles, Snooks and Skeezix) and 3 males (Old Dad, Pinkie,[1] and Johnnie).\n\nHere is what the found out about the Females:\n\nIt was noted that the animals of both sexes objected to being stroked or having their feet, tail base, or genitals touched by the authors. In July/August, as the mating season approached, the female porcupine would often rub her genitals on structures such as food and water dishes, sticks, and the cage wire. As the season progressed she sought and accepted more frequent tactile stimulation (presumably from the human investigators). As the mating season approached, young females become more nervous and excited and put more "vim, vigor and action" into their activities. They would even "seize, straddle, and ride sticks about the cage" walking erect and stimulating their genitalia with the stick. This period of excitement was followed by a stage the female went off her food, remained close to the male and "moped." During this period the female even accepted the insertion of a thermometer into the vagina (which she resisted at other times). \n\nAnd the male behavior:\n\nWhen placed in a cage with a female the male porcupine toured the whole area rubbing everything with his nose. He carefully smelled all items, paying closest attention to objects that had been in contact with the female and the places where she had urinated. He often walked about the cage on three legs, clutching at his genitals with his free left front paw. Like the females, the male rubbed his genitals on objects in the cage, and it appeared that the larger the object the more attractive as a rubbing place. The authors describe having to remove a one and a half inch spike from the frame of one cage as they feared that the animal’s vigorous rubbing would result in injury. Males also indulged in "stick riding" as described for females. Males would often "sing"[2] during this period and became more aggressive with other males. When the male encountered the female porcupine he smelled her all over, then reared up on his hind legs, his penis fully erect. If the female was not ready she ran away. If she was prepared for mating she also reared up and faced the male, belly-to-belly. In this position most males then sprayed the female with a strong stream of urine,[3] soaking her from head to foot.[4] She would either 1) object vocally, 2) strike with her front paws, as though boxing, 3) threaten or try to bite, or 4) shake off the urine and run away. If ready for mating the female did not object strongly to this shower. This courtship routine occurred several times in the days or weeks leading up to copulation. \n\nMating:\n\nMating occurred in November or December. While females at the peak of receptivity would accept any male, males required a period of close association with the females before they would mate with them. The male made sexual contact from behind the female. The spines of both animals were relaxed and lay flat. His thrusts were of the "usual nature" and were produced by flexing and straightening the knees. Males did not grasp the female in any way. Mating continued until the male was exhausted. Each time he broke awa

yes.\n\nthey are mammals and do not breathe underwater.\n\nthey take in air at the surface, so it does not matter what type of water they live in.

Rabbit is the grumpy one but I think you are referring to Gopher.  He is, in fact, a gopher or groundhog as they are also sometimes referred to.

As we know from biological studies in the field, many animals are homosexual.  Hundreds of species are covered in the seminal work in the area -- Biological Exuberance by Dr. Bruce Bagemihl, published by St. Martin's Press.  Higher and (to my surprise) lower animals routinely engaged in homosexual behavior -- including EXCLUSIVELY HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR in hundreds of species.  Those species with pair bonding demonstrated homosexual pair bonding as well.\n\nIt's a fascinating read.\n\nRegards,\n\nReynolds Jones\nSchenectady, NY\nhttp://www.rebuff.org

You are so funny!!!  I'll just bet they do.  Animals are smarter than their human counterparts.
