>What do you mean by "rat"?
Kangaroo rat, bush rat....a desert dwelling rodent creature. I
have not seen it's like in the flesh....I am going to copy the url
down and I have to visit the local zoo (Cheyenne Mountain
Zoo) this week [getting permission to and collecting some
shed feathers from endangered species for a commission.
It is legal to possess them IF I have the zoo fill out paperwork
and it's sworn that the feathers were shed from zoo specimens
as a natural course....and I transfer ownership to the Native
American that commissioned the work after I complete it. Sigh.]
>It looks nothing like any rat I know. it is more mouse like. If the ears
>were bigger I would be looking for spines on the back.
I'll get someone from the zoo to take a look at the pics and see
what their best guess is.
