A packrat (Neotoma) nest made completely out of cholla cactus, crazy spiny impenetrable fortress

But I’m left wondering, how the hell ??…

#RodentOfTheDay Bushy Tailed Woodrat (Neotoma cinerea)

"They are known to collect sticks, bones, pinecones, bits of rope and leather, feathers, owl pellets, and paper; as well as anything else any individual rat finds interesting."

Looking for something unrelated, found what might be the only beetle collected by master flea taxonomist Robert Traub. He mounted it exactly like a flea, of course

The eastern woodrat is one of my favorite rodents. They are considered ecosystem engineers, as they construct large dens called middens. They sometimes decorate their homes with shiny objects! ✨same girl, same✨

#RodentOfTheDay Bushy Tailed Woodrat (Neotoma cinerea)

"The Bushy-tailed woodrat is also known as a pack rat and a trade rat...the bushy-tailed woodrat is actually more closely related to the deer mouse than to what many people think of as a rat."

THAT FACE!

well that makes me feel better about how difficult I find it to differentiate visually between Rattus and Neotoma sometimes
