Mooshika.org - Welcome! Bienvenue!

In the Hindu religion, rats represent foresight and prudence, and white ones are very lucky. Mooshika is the name of the steed that Ganesh - god of new beginnings and of fire, knowledge, wisdom, literature and worldly success - rides upon. The steed, of course, is the intelligent and gentle rat. “Mooshika” means “little hoarder.”


Dans la religion hindoue, les rats représentent la prévoyance et la prudence, les blancs étant considérés comme particulièrement chanceux. Mooshika est le nom du destrier de Ganesh – dieu des nouveaux départs, du feu, du savoir, de la sagesse, de la littérature et du succès matériel. Ce destrier, bien sûr, est un digne représentant de la race douce et intelligente des rats. Le nom ''Mooshika'' signifie petit amasseur.

The Smithsonian has a rat exhibit!

The National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, DC, has had an exhibit for Norway rats - your favourite regular kind of wild rat - with three females: Donut, Muffin, and Cupcake. If you happen to pass through on  your travels (or even live there), you have an extra incentive, beyond the panda exhibit, to go :-)
