We’ve recently learned something that apparently has been happening forever. In the dark, rats catch and eat bats. It was first observed by accident, and then German scientists checked to see if their observation was an anomaly. It wasn’t.
I have thought of rats as predominantly scavengers. Seeing them also as predators puts them in a new light, an ecological niche that they oddly share with bears - as opportunistic feeder/predators. Hat tip to Instapundit for the link.
Ah, nature … blood red in fang and claw.
