Rats

They have to be the best opportunist of all our animals.

This was a spot 2 old boys used to feed the birds, at the side of a couple of picnic benches, They wouldn't believe me when i told them the embankment behind there feeders was now crawling with rats, These pictures were the proof  I quite like rats even though i must have killed tens of thousands over the years one way or another. \they are the perfect example of adaptability in pursuit of survival.

That's what all them in the pictures would look like if they weren't where they were

I had a pet rat when I was a kid, albino buck used to take him all over, he'd just fall asleep in my pocket or coat hood, very personable animal, he was splendid

I always liked rattus norwegicus and rattus rattus (seen them both) used to hand catch brown rats as a kid, I think there's a pic in my gallery of a rat up a tree?I went to the karni mata rat temple in rajasthan years ago 20,000 rats in the grounds, you had to walk through them barefoot.

We would catch runners by hand whilst out with the terrier's, then walk them out into the field and drop them for the pups, Once seen a lad with one under each arm and one in each hand

We used to throw them at each other, and try at times to put them in people's letter boxes
