Is an opussum bigger than a rat?

Usually yes, but it depends on the size of the rat. My dad has seen a rat about the size of a long plank of wood and opossums are smaller than a long plank of wood, usually a few inches bigger than a regular rat. So usually yes, but unless you happen to see a rat bigger than an opossum, that rat has sure lived for a long time.


How much stronger is a cats smell then people?

The olfactory receptor genes map topographically onto the first relay station, a sheet of modules called glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Up to 80% of the glomerular layer in the rat can be removed without significant effect on olfactory detection and discrimination (Bisulco and Slotnick 2003). If the remaining 20% of the glomeruli-and the olfactory receptor genes they represent-can subserve the functions of 1,100 genes, it implies that 350 genes in the human are more than enough to smell as well as a mouse.
