Scientists from the USA found the mouse at an altitude of 6.7 kilometers. This is a record figure for mammals.

Briefly about

The Hi-Tech publication writes about the opening. In 2019, researchers said they had found a mammal capable of living at the highest altitude - 6.1 kilometers. It was a mouse on top of the Llullaillaco volcano.

Scientists then recognized that it was difficult for them to understand howthe mouse could survive in such conditions. After all, there is not even vegetation there, and it is not clear what the animal could eat. However, as it turned out, rodents can live even higher. Later, a biologist from the University of Nebraska discovered a mouse on the volcano, which lived at an altitude of 6.7 kilometers. At the moment, this is a record.
