A rat's sense of smell is significantly more acute than that of humans, with estimates suggesting they possess up to 50 times more olfactory receptors. This heightened sense allows rats to detect scents at much lower concentrations, making them highly adept at finding food, navigating their environment, and communicating with each other through pheromones. Their ability to differentiate between a wide range of smells plays a crucial role in their survival and behavior.
