Ready or not， here they come： Scientists who played hide-and-ek with rats found that their furry subjects emed to love the game- and they were remarkably good at it．
The rearchers taught six adolescent male rats how to play a one-on-one version of hide-and-ek． They equipped a large room with cardboard barriers and small containers to rve as hiding places for humans and rats， respectively． The game started when the rat was placed in a small box in the middle of the room． If the rat was the "eker，" the scientist would hide and then remotely open the box． If the rat was the "hider the scientist would crouch （蹲伏） by the box when the rat came out． This p
rompted the little rodent to running quickly for cover． All six rats learned how to be the eker． Five of them were able to handle hiding as well．
Compared with something like playful wrestling， hide-and-ek is more complex for veral reasons． It requires an understanding of the rules， a clear grasp of players' distinct roles and the ability to assume different roles on different rounds． This unconventional experiment sheds light on the sophisticated n of play in the tiny rodents， and also hints at the evolutionary ufulness of this type of play．
Peggy Mason， a neurobiologist （神经生物学家） at the University of Chicago， said that she was most impresd by the discovery that the rats didn't just learn hide and ek-they wanted to play it． Play probably helps young animals learn how to socially interact， Mason said． She pointed to evidence that when rodents are prevented from playing during early development， they don't grow into normal adults． Instead， they become anxious， they don't play well with others and they aren't great parents．
