NYC Rats Have Secret Ultrasonic Language, Study Finds

Scientists are studying NYC rats and found some surprising things.

They use high-pitched squeaks we can't hear to talk to each other.

These calls change depending on where the rats are, like quieter parks or noisy subway stations.

The study also showed how rats act in groups and how they adapt to city life.

This information could help the city better manage the rat population.
