How did they know the point destination cargo? People sailing on the river in boats, boats and barges, as one argue that for 12-15 kilometers to Bolshelug, against the place Nam-Vomin, rats jump into the water and swim to shore.

Versions Explaining the Visher Phenomenon
Scientists still can not determine the cause of “Vishera phenomenon, “however, there are a number of popular versions on this score. Some I’m sure that rats are afraid of the ordinary peony growing here (Paeonia vulgare). However, the same peony grows in others areas of Komi, but there the nude rodents feel “like at home”.
