Hamster Becomes Youngest Rodent Admitted to Mensa

Abel, a hamster from Wilmington, DE, has been recognized as the youngest rodent ever admitted to Mensa, the international organization for those that score in the top two percent on a standardized intelligence test.  The two-year-old hamster reportedly has an IQ of 164, and is able to consistently press the red lever for food while avoiding the green lever, which produces an unpleasant puff of air.

Abel is planning to attend Phillips Exeter Academy in the fall.
