Observations from another perspective

VIDEO TAPE 6 & 7.

Yes, a rat! You might think one may be alarmed by the presence of this rodent, but knowing the reality of life in predator lane, I monitor the situation calmly. To the situation I am sympathetic, because the days are numbered for this little being in "predator alley"... In fact, it was not long before a hawk, an owl or a cat made this lunch.
