got a series of pictures today of a brown rat at my local reserve ,it was collecting stones from beneath the bird feeder and taking them away two or three at a time ,never seen anything like it before and got no valid reason for its behaviour i just sat and watched mouth open for around three hours .???
Rats are very intelligent. I've seen them use crude tools to get at food.
But I've never seen that before! Amazing ...and nice shots!
I assume it was wanting the stones to either cover something or support something. Would be fascinating to find out what it was up to.
