Field Notes

Habitat:

East Texas Pineywoods

Notes:

This rat would prance through the dog door in the middle of the night, past my sleeping pups and into my kitchen to feast on cantaloupe. I caught him in a live trap and relocated him to a local state park where (I hope) he lived happily ever after.
