Rats have very good hearing. Their good hearing is because, their ears are so small and are never covered. Their ears are also small so that when running, the ears do not cover up their eyes.

Which country of people have ears as small as rats?

It is not possible for humans to have ears that are the same in size as to rats. The people with the smallest ears may be the African Pygmy people, as it is rumored that people of small height have short ears. Therefore, one could say that a country in Africa is the answer to your question, though it is highly unlikely that any human would have ears of similar size to a rodent.

I would say remy is a dumbo rat, the rest are roof rats.Normal rat ears are top of their head, dumbo rats ears are on the side ''very spacial rats as i say"


How are dumbo rats different from normal rats - are they kinder or just look different?

Dumbo rats are just the same as normal rats, its just their ears look different. They're personalities in no way differ from rats with conventional ears. Though all rats have different personalities, no matter if they are a dumbo or not. Some are playful, some are grumpy and some are sweet natured. I have three rats, one is a dumbo and two are not, and they are all different from each other! So no, Dumbo rats just look different in that their ears are larger and don't stand up as much as normal eared rats. Its up to you to decide if they are cuter or not!
