I caught the start of a #rodent nest in my #Toyota#Tacoma engine bay. They were using the insulation from the underside of the plastic engine cover and stuffing it between the intake runners and the top of the engine.
What are people using as rodent deterrents these days?
Contrary to a recent study, we show that these rodents indeed have otoacustic emissions and their pattern highlights specializations for low frequency hearing (acoustic fovea) in common and naked mole-rats.
Cute Arizona rodent posing for me :)
It was just incredible! This cute Round-tailed ground squirrel was playing and friendly posing for me in the park of San Xavier Del Bac Mission in Arizona, near Tucson :)
This overly round ball of fluff is a Common Gundi, an African rodent found in rocky deserts across the northern parts of the continent. It is one of five species of gundis, a group also known as "comb rats" due to the comb-like bristles found on the middle toes of their hind paws. When alarmed, they will thump those hind paws on the ground, and if threatened, they will either run to the nearest crevice or play dead. Diurnal and herbivorous, they live in colonies and pile onto each other for warmth. They are highly vocal and social creatures, and the colony goes as far as sharing a common bathroom, aptly named a "dunghill".
Spotted some movement in our backyard when looking out a window & luckily had my zoom camera nearby so managed to snap this rather cute & healthy looking rat chomping on some greens before it quickly disappeared.😜😷🥱 #nature#photography#rodent#humor#rats#health#healthyeating
This would be done yesterday if it wasn’t for the fact my server shat itself and I only further euthanized it.
Anyways, 1.2 is here! You can now download it here !

N(e)orat (pronounced no-rat or neorat, whichever you prefer) is an upcoming emoji set that was created as a response to Volpeon’s neocat and neofox emoji sets (no shade thrown, ILY volp) - except with rats!
Tomorrow I plan to release the initial set of the emotes, which you will be free to use on any non-commercial platform!
Did you know porcupines also came in pocket size? Born with soft fur, the Armored Rat grows spines on its back and sides after the first month. Found in wet lowland rainforests of Latin America, from northern Honduras to northwest Ecuador, it feeds on fruit, insects and green plant matter. It is part of a family of similar neo tropical spiny rats more closely related to porcupines, Guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus, than to rats. This family is comprised of specialists of a wide range of ecological habitats that includes terrestrial, fossorial and semi aquatic.
With its cute expressive face, the Southern Viscacha, one of five viscacha species, often looks high and happy. Although resembling a rabbit with a long tail, it is not a lagomorph, but a rodent closely related to chinchillas. Found in the high-altitude mountainous regions of South America, from Peru to Argentina, it is a crepuscular vegetarian, feeding on mountain grasses and herbs. Incredibly social, it forms small colonies that communicate with each other using various calls, and engage in playful antics and cuddle piles.
I've just discovered #Rodent a new #Mastodon client for #Android with unique features I still haven't seen elsewhere: multi instance view, the possibility to browse posts by author (and not just chronologically) and a curated list of recommended posts. It's still in beta I think, but definitely very interesting. I'll test it as my main client for some weeks.
