Scientists have been stunned by the 'shock find'.
The discovery of mice living at the summit of volcanoes in the Andes suggests mammals could live on Mars The discovery of mice living at the summit of volcanoes in the Andes Mountains suggests mammals could live on Mars, according to a new study. Scientists have ruled out any ties between the shock find and ancient Incan rituals, and believe the rodents ascended the mountains on their own.
Professor Storz said: “The discovery of the mouse mummies on the summits of these freezing, wind-scoured volcano summits was a huge surprise. “In combination with our live-capture records of mice on the summits and flanks of other high elevation Andean volcanoes, we are amassing more and more evidence that there are long-term resident populations of mice living at extreme elevations.
