There are rats in every city. The Japanese collective "Chim Pom" has figured out how to solve the problem with the tailed inhabitants of Tokyo streets. Why not turn the disagreeable animals into cute Pokémon Pikachu? In addition, they say that rats from the Japanese capital have superpowers: for example, no poison takes them anymore, and they are not particularly afraid of people.
The Chim Pom art team began creating Pokémon Pikachu by hunting rats. Operation "Mousetrap" was successful, taxidermists worked with the captured rats, and then the animals were painted yellow. To make the tail look like a lightning, thick wire was inserted into it.
The authors of the project say that they caught rats on the same streets along which girls disguised as Pokemon scurry about. Pikachu from them are obtained, to put it mildly, different. So the yellow anime animals are also irony over Pokemonomania, which does not let the Japanese go. At the same time, the rat project is an attempt by "Chim Pom" to turn the creepy (scary) into the kawaii (cute).

A person's love for animals can manifest itself in different ways.

It is not news to anyone that some animals can be highly successful artists. Especially if they are such intelligent and sensitive creatures as rats.

“Without music, life would be a mistake” - these words were once uttered by the German philosopher, composer and culturologist Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche. And the most interesting thing is that this applies not only to people, but, incidentally, animals too. A couple of cute kids-rodents will be happy to play you any melody on any instrument. Moppy and Viti, two white rats, are one of the most awesome and talented musician duos in the animal kingdom
African rats are real heroes that can save thousands of lives
There are rats that run around dumps and trash cans, there are rats that scare passers-by in tunnels and entrances on a dark night, and there are rats that save human lives. It costs 6,000 euros to teach one such animal to his craft. So what can these rodents do after such an expensive training?

The workaholism of the Japanese, who are literally burning at work, has long been circulating not only legends, but also anecdotes. And about the working conditions at Japanese enterprises - horror stories and horror films, the mildest of which is a 12-hour working day, a limited time for a smoke break with a cup of coffee and the departure of natural needs, and catastrophic fines even for a slight delay to the beginning of the working day. Unsurprisingly, public transport in Japan is crowded with sleeping people in the morning and evening, and
