Went to the chickenhouse yesterday and saw this pair of rats in there
A second male entered and a short battle ensued.I only caught the end of it on video

After chasing him into the woods the big guy returned passing right by my feet with one thing on his mind

But she was ready for a snack
He waited for her to eat

Then on to better things.You can see him pulsing on top of her

The other male returned a while later but left without a fight

This was quite fun to watch.I was suprised I was able to get so close.
Thanks for looking...Kelly

I mean, seriously...how can you get anything better than mating, feeding, and combat all in one? That's freaking incredible!

Awesome post. I also love posts catching animals doing rarely seen behaviors. Thought only Chicken snakes did that.

Me too, minus the mating and combat. I mainly stay pretty static, it suits me better I think.
Nice post, Kelly!

I like how they just really didn't care that you were there. All business!
