- Experimenting with wild mice in mazes. Mice are amazingly good at traversing mazes, it turns out, so I had to make the maze more complicated. But the shrew reigned victorious

I love that the Shrew has their own theme music whenever they appear
yea same!!!
He gave the shrew a leitmotif
they do?
We must learn the name of the Shrew's song, for science!
That is an awesome detail
The four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and shrew
DJaetherSlime Sir a state known as plasma exists too
How could you forget it? You must be a racist republican
@@gizmologyisstupid4657 r/woooosh
@@youraveragerobloxkid haha
Not a shrew they aren't rodents they're related to hedgehog. Vole
The five states, solid, liquid, gas, plasma, shrew
I love that the mice, and shrew have their own theme songs 🤣
Love your mouse maze videos, they're so entertaining! The sound effects really add a lot of personality. I'd love to see a maze with mirrors and how the rodents react to that.
My respects for that shrew went from a 0 to a 100
Hey, if you had to eat your own body weight every 24 hours, you'd do anything for some peanut butter and seeds.
This is what I call quality TH-cam content.
The Shrew is my favorite character in all of anime. He always gets the best arcs and it's been super fulfilling seeing him gain in power season after season.
He never gives up either. Super entertaining character to watch. Favorite anime protagonist of all time.
The content that you show the way you edit the narrative you give and the enjoyment of your own work couldn't ask for a truer TH-cam
On the next episode Matthias Wandel adds spinning walls , lever activated trap doors , lava pits , a crocodile infested river , that cutting laser grid hallway from the Resident Evil movie , and an exculator to the next floor . Stay tuned !
An exculator would be really cool.
Won't deter that shrew.
the shrew will live
hed420 don't forget the poltergeist
hed420 and the shrew will pass them all
Not only the mice and shrew are entertaining to watch, the piano effects is fantastic enhancement to the video. So pleasant to the eyes and ears at the same time.
Dande lion exactly dude😁👍
Normal people at 2am: **Sleeping or revising**
Me at 2am:
Time for shrew
It’s amazing how quickly the mice gave up on the final maze.
That shrew will have enough food to retire soon.
Scrivscribe I know right?
Or maybe the wife is greedy and wouldn't want him to.
Scrivscribe I
Considering the rampant metabolism of a shrew, there is no such thing as retirement.
hope not love the little guy beter than the mouse
Did I just spend 13 minutes, being thoroughly entertained by watching mice going through a maze?
Captain Catnip don't forget the shrew!
Captain Catnip if you look at it from a animal psychology perspective, it is very entertaining and incredibly informative.
Yes
Captain Catnip and extra few seconds typing this comment
you are not alone 😂
Shrew: *appears*
Maze: Finally, a worthy challenger
This is surprisingly well-shot and edited, I really liked the music, commentary and speed-ups. Thank you, this was informative and entertaining! :D
Mouse: who keeps playing that goddamn piano
TalentLacking Dude im literaly LOL
xD
Shrew: why do i sound like a fatass
CheezhOfficial I SubbeD
It’s god
You should make panels that can only rotate in one direction so they're forced to find a different way back!
Great idea!
Like the panels from the pokemon gym? Lol
Pichu Life I hate those things.
Would be great for a one way shortcut
You pay so much attention to the audio. That was a treat. Thank you.
Y’know what you should do? You should make those kinds of maxes that have a big center.
Step 1: make a maze with a center that has a entrance and an exit.
Step 2: place a door flap at both of the doorways(?) at the center so that the mouse can enter the the maze and head into the center but not exit the center through the entrance. The mouse will be forced to get out of the maze through the other door flap that will lead them to the exit of the maze. This will prevent them from coming in and out through only one route. They’ll need to learn how to enter and exit the center.
would that be ethical?
@@vitor.guitarra A mouse trap that actually lets a mouse escape if it learns how to. Yes. I believe it would be.
"When everything is lost, keep going" Shrew 2018
Kerwin Ma 😭😭😂😂😂
That shrew was clearly much more determined than the mice.
shrews discovered the Americas before Columbus confirmed
Play it at .25×
So inspirational this should never be forgot
Or by the fact it was said by a rodent
The shrew has inspired me
It's pretty shrew-d.
*You watch the shrew conquer each maze, with no sweat...
*You question if shrews actually sweat...
*This fills you with DETERMINATION.
that you dont need to be thin to fit through gaps? :D
Exodarion me too
pretty sure that shrew has ocd lol see him move those seeds from one corner to another
I love your music selection as much as the clips themselves. Makes me laugh every time
The sound effects of the mouse going back and forth really make this
Maze runner: shrew edition
Sir ANZO have you seen the new one? The Death Cure
Spoilers:
Newt and Teresa died
yeah, Death Cure was cool.
I didn't expect my comment to get so many likes, thanks guys :P
Spoilers:
Newt was good character and and Teresa would have helped to speed up the cure progress a lot if she would have survived. I hated that they destroyed the last city...
You should build a one-way door. They go in on one side and out of the other
I was about to suggest the same thing.
Or, a revolving door(s) so that the maze reconfigures as the rodent moves through.
Shouldn't it be they go in and never come out? I think what he needs is a good cat.
Jeff K, but the little furry guys are his friends now.
jeff K, the mice absolutely come out. much leaner than they went in.
I was not expecting to be so thoroughly entertained by speed-shrew.
Shrews release a pheromone that allows them to retrace there steps pretty accurately. They use this ability to raid others nests. Shrews will pack up and move if another has raided there nest cause they know the culprit can always find his way around there place after one successful journey.
What about.... Mirror maze?
Well maybe I'm just too evil....
Pretty sure they don't use sight much anyway. Unless you mean a really long maze mirroring the opposite side.
The Fury
Yasssssss I would pay to see that
We have to fool that shrew!
yes, a mirrored maze would be evil :o You can do it four times :D, maybe twist them 90 degrees?
Maybe a combination of see-through glas and mirrors
All that audio work though 👏
Matthew Cremona Absolutely... the sound effects definitely make it much funnier!
The rubbery, balloon sound as 'it' (I shan't assume), squeezes through. In addition to the piano strum up and down... genius!
Apparently the work ethic is higher among mice than men.
Rand Sip of mice and men... i hated reading that book for school
Shine on harvest moon?
The musical choices for the competitors are fantastic!
MORE OF THIS PLEASE! THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH!!
I love the "shrew theme" that played every time that little guy showed up
The music and sound effects just make it so much better
The sheer amount of unadulterated joy I experienced every time seeing the shrew!! I love him! and his theme music!
I like how villainous music plays when the shrew enters
The piano effect was genius
Joey Ferris yes it is
Joey Ferris i love it
I love the piano sound when the shrew came in
Yeah lol
The genre is called Boogie Woogie, try listening to some :)
hero@@rowennjohnmartinez5108
Love the change of music with the big bad shrew.
I like how some times the mice look on top of the maze as if they are planning the route
The shrew is my favorite character.
I don't know why this is so entertaining, but it is
The Music!
helloimsam true that
It really is
Yeah... nobody knows why..
helloimsam so very
pro tip: hug the left wall
Theodor Bourelius what if the exit is seperate from the rest of the maze?
Put a tracking device in one of the sunflower seeds so you know where the stash is :D
I never expected the shrew to be the star of these experiments. Came for mouse, stayed for shrew :)
The way you had different music for each mouse is SO cute.
Aww the shrew just moved the pile
“No. Seeds belong on the other side.:3”
Maybe he was counting em
Madeline L. Heyyy we have the same name and spelling! How do you pronounce it? I pronounce it (Mad-A-Linn)
Urpupdixie same! Not many people have the same pronunciation with this spelling how cool :)
Urpupdixie I have the same phonetics but I spell it differently
I've seen construction workers do similar when staging work areas
I have came to this video every year since it's release and I don't plan on stopping
I love your mouse videos. They are such fascinating animals with their high intelligence and agility. I wonder how much their scent marking helps them to find previous paths in the maze. Maybe it would be an option to wipe the maze and see if that has any visible effect
Shrew lvl 99
Mouse lvl 11

THE SHREW IS A COMPLETE LEGEND- - CHANGE MY MIND
If I were that small and went through a maze with gaps that small and finished in that quick of a time I would have banked my head aleast 5 times. The shrew's time without bonking his head was amazing. #legendaryskills
The legend,that fat little fucker was a beast.
Steven Crowder fan?
Never mess with a Shrew, they are the champions of tenacity.
The shrew plays a lot of MMORPGs.
In the tighter maze the shrew looked like some slugg-y blob squirting around in those corners. They say a rat can get through anything it can get it’s head into.
"the actions of this shrew are completely voluntary. im not making it do anything". lmfao.. omg im literally laughing out loud at that. lmao..
I have concluded that shrews must be made of jello.
A slug with fur
MissNebulosity mice can go through a dime sized hole
Austin A only if there head can
The music for the shrew vs the music for the mouse 😂
the shrew has FINAL BOSS music or somethin' XD
That shrew had Mario sounding music, that mouse sounded like it just got pooped out my a barbies thin ass
I never am sorry for watching your TH-cams, Matthais. I stumbled onto your productions when you made your toroidal coil winder. Always fun to watch your work.
Great work on these videos Matthias!! The Piano work and sound effects are GREAT!! Love Them!! It's a good break from woodworking LOL
No one woke up today planning to watch this.
lol yeah
But we're all glad we did
眩暈夢 Just woke up and this is the first video i saw 😂
Its aboutta be 1 am for me, havent slept yet. Still accurate tho
Proteus Hellene du kannst doch mit jemandem der nen Namen aus chinesischen Schriftzeichen hat kein deutsch reden und ne Antwort erwarten. Na dein Glück das hier gerade ein Westfale unterwegs ist.
Matt, use a UV light. Mice leave a urine trail so they will always find there way out of your maze. The mouse urine reflects light in the UV spectrum. Interesting fact, predator bird species, like falcons, can see in the UV range and see the trail from the air making mice easy prey.
Kawitamamayi . That was exactly my thought. Well i didn't know the left an urine trail, but they definitely are doing something with smell.
Hope he sees this, that would be a super interesting theory to test/prove.
not really when he changes the layout making the trail useless
Haha this is so entertaining! Love the different music on shrew and mice xD
Haha I love your "squeeze through" sound effects, super funny!!
The shrew just made me laugh XD
The mouse is like "i give up :/"
And the shrew "IM NEVER TIRED OF THIS >:3"
blazing dragon It makes sense, given how fast and furious a shrew's life is
Shrews have to eat their own body weight every 24 hours, so of course it would try its damnest to get any food it could.
Lol
more free food for shrew
Mat Mat shrew says:"YEP >:3"
Make a mirror maze like you go through at the Carnival. That I think would surely confuse them!
Attraction Spot or make a maze that closes once they enter the maze
Ethan Dallmann thats animal abuse and also we have the same name
That's just a trap.
Ok, E. Shelby, if that's animal abuse, I'd love to see one where the entrance closes but automatically opens an alternate exit. Then make it so that every time an entrance is used, it automatically closes and opens the other entrance. Lets see if they understand the concept of alternating one-way.
That wouldn't be animal abuse -- it would just be the world's most entertaining "humane mouse trap." Just above the spinny-walkway-of-doom over an empty bucket.
This video got me reading a little about shrews. Apparently some shrews have powerful venom, and they are aggressively territorial. I THINK this shrew is one of them. This would explain why the mouse got nervous about the larger/tighter maze - if it happened to get caught in close quarters with the shrew, it would probably be killed.
I loved every second of this , best clip in years
That shrew is used to the maze having a roof.. you should take off the roof and see if it realizes it can just jump over or if it keeps doing the maze
Good idea. But I think the shrew will realize it soon
It actually might not realise it quickly, the shrew seems to be very good at following an established pattern but is slow to respond to change.
I would like to mention that a few times the shrew tried climbing the maze from the outside, it's just hard to notice since the video being shown is very fast, but I figure since it tried climbing on top of the maze it'd find out relatively quickly.
It would be funny if the shrew makes it all the way, eats, gets fatter and can't fit to go back.
I was thinking about that.
Me too!
it could just wait, poop a couple of times and it would fit again...
That's exactly what i was waiting for.
Hello fellow name-sharer,
I, too, was surprised by the mice learning their way around the maze.
Until I remembered a conversation I had with an exterminator.
He told me that the "instant death traps" he used would kill the mice immediately, and the reason he used them was that if the mice were to live for a while, they would automatically coat the trap with pheromons signaling distress, making the trap unattractive for future mice.
I assume that the mice panicing in the individual dead ends infused the maze with basically road signs that would show routes to success, leaving smells of "food here", "no food anymore", and the smell of relief and panic.
Therefore it may be less about memorizing but about leaving figurative bread crumbs.
I love the care for these animals! You don't hurt the mice in anyway as if mice aren't beings because they're small, uncared for creatures that get in your house and eat your food only because noone adopts them. Instead, you give them little challenges!
Was not expecting to watch that today
AND WE DANCE. VLOGS it’s 3 am I don’t know where I am
It's 5am and I know I was tripping earlier and I can't stop giggling.
What do you mean? Didnt you wait to get home just so you could search for Bigger, tighter mouse maze experiments?
Looks like the shrew has HUD and a minimap.
LOL
Lmao
Just amazed at how they learnt the maze so quick!thank you for you videos!!
Needles to say I can not get enough of this video
Why am I so interested in this ? Why do I like the shrew music ? Why am I planning to marry the shrew ?
Suchit Khanolkar will you first have to tame the shrew 🤓
wat HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Suchit Khanolkar I am too.
The shrew has won the maze to my heart
Well i will win the shrews heart ♥ first!!! Fight me!! (๑و•̀ω•́)و ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
The shrew has a better built in AI... mouse needs to be patched... add possible DLC.
These videos are so much fun to watch
I LIVE for these shrews man
Closing the exit while a mouse is in there and opening one on a different place would be interesting
Leon Tarmann cool idea, I'm worried that either a: the temporary closure of the original would be difficult. Or b: the mouse would reach its limit and give up
You should see the movie "cube" then..
Desmond Miles I've seen all 3 of them, multiple times 😂
Closing the exit and never opening it again would be interesting to 😂😂
Natsu Alfante that’s cruel
I am definitely becoming a fan of that shrew.
Hey Matthew, I don't know who is more nuts, you making these vids, or me watching them all!
great video, love the sound effects
This is awesome experiment. Shrews are mostly blind and depend on other senses to navigate underground. That's why shrew was able to find the path more accurately every time. They also leave the trail of scent behind.
Given that it was walking around all over the place, I don't think it was using scent to navigate. Its scent would be all over the place.
i was thinking the same it seems like the shrew used his excrement to mark dead ends
lol
_goes through 5+ years of engineering school just to piss off a mouse_
That statement is probably not accurate...
you deserve some comments for this not just likes o:
no no bad word
this is not an activity typical of engineering, actually, it has nothing to do with engineering. I assume this man does it for fun, or, if he is doing it for a school project, I assume he studies some form of behavioral science.
Deputy one of the funniest comments I've ever read on TH-cam I dunno why I just pissed myself 😂
@THE BO55 oooh some insult to injury there o:
Shrews have poor eyesight but their sense of smell makes up for it. They also for food in trees, leaf litter and underground. They’ll dig burrows too, so it’s not surprising that they can make their way through this maze and push stuff around.
Shrew confirmed for smash.
i'm wondering if the shrew droppings made the mice hesitant to explore further since they recognized another animal could potentially be in the maze and attack them
I was wondering something like that too. Maybe the mouse can smell that the shrew has been there, and is hesitant about entering the more confined space.
Good point. I would think that if I saw a big Stanley steamer just chillin I'd probably feel like the joint wasn't very lit...
AHHHAAAA! That made me laugh out loud thanks!
As the mouse was the first to enter the other times.
That's a very smart observation.
the virgin mice vs. the chad shrew
Y e s
Eladnav1 don't you mean incel mouse?,lmao
no, because making fun of people who are ostracised by society for being a little weird, no matter how hard they try to fit in is beneath me and everybody doing it is no more then a piddling worm in my eyes. Virgins can choose, incels are forced and can´t defend themselves other than to cry out "HELP" performing the next mass shooting....@@ceratoenjoyer
t. 13 years and going Volcel
@@Eladnav1 I can't tell if you're serious or not
Shrews cannot see as well as mice and rely on echolocation because they can’t hear well either. It’s possible that the shrew moved the seeds to have a better idea where the path ends. The seeds may have blocked its ability to locate the wall behind. Shrews are also smarter than mice.
Interesting vid. The shrew does multiple "checks" of each leg where the mouse has fewer short testing "legs" and more long ones.
Now this is entertainment, I could watch this for hours.
I know right?
Theory: The shrew is actually a liquid.
But that's just a theory
A GA
my keyboard broke.
Joep Noordhoek a rodent theory
B-b-but what about the cats?
They are liquid too, they just confirm the theory that animals can be liquids.
The music change for the shrew is genius
Those sound effects are amazing
That shrew is hacking, ban him😂
"Yes"
Sandshrew
Cheater!!
It's Shroud.
Reckless41 that was the mouse not the shrew
I love the shrew music

I just like the fact that each animal has its own leitmotif
My cat has been so obsessed with this video for years. I can’t show it to him too often or it becomes a problem.
You should use the mechanics from the LEGO and make the maze change every minute. Like so he can see
I'm just picturing alien overlords doing this to us
johnathan cenacrust too late
@@Damnnthatscrazy yea their doing it now.
Making you run around TH-cam, seeing how stupid the comments can get before your brains turn to mush.
we live in a 4-dimensional universe but can only see 3, you're probably right 😂
Seems pretty fun there has to be a pile of chicken nuggets and cold fries at the end.
the mice are adapted to not get stuck in someone else's tunnels; they smell the shrew and abandon. Tightening the path changes their perception from "this is a common path" to "this is another animal's space".
Finn, just Finn. I realized that too. Hope he tries again!
No they aren't. In the last video the mice used the same maze as the shrew without care, just like here.
maxdecphoenix he just said the tightening of the space changed it from a common path to another animals space
idk why but i laughed so hard just looking at the shrew weaving through the maze sped up
I feel kind of dumb watching this. But there is 4 million people also who have watched this.
A maze for wild mouses? How much of work just to observe mouses doing mazes!
But this is also very interesting. At least in the morning hours.
I'm more confused.
Hey Jesus Fox.
