Re: [tips] Naturalism Observation: A Rat In The Wild

[Joan Warmbold]

Think it's been a slow summer Beth, really.  I would wait until the Fall
to make any dire predictions.  BTW, can anyone give me a contact for Carol
DeVolder.  We exchanged a few emails but now I've lost track of them and
wish to send her an article.

Thanks.

Joan

PS I think the rat had a "desire to belong," or a crush on that guy.

Re: [tips] Naturalism Observation: A Rat In The Wild

[Beth]

Looks like a Norway rat.  They're the big sewer/city rats.  Doubt that he/she 
had any intentional conditioning. The high sensation-seeking sounds like a 
possibility though.  You'd probably have to have that trait to survive in NYC.  
Right, Mike?

BTW, are we down to about six on TIPS now?  :-(

Re: [tips] Naturalism Observation: A Rat In The Wild

[Joan Warmbold]

Hey, maybe it's a lonely rat, though on the NYC subways that does seem
somewhat improbable.  Or maybe we might have a high sensation seeking rat
with a love for taking risks.  Or maybe it was a domesticated rat at some
point and enjoys the company of humans.  Or maybe he has past experiences
of being fed by HS's!  OR . . .
