A web site reader called my attention to this story:
- Rats at war during lockdown
Quote:> "Starving rats are resorting to war and cannibalism to
> survive coronavirus lockdown ...
> “A restaurant all of a sudden closes now, which has happened by
> the thousands in not just New York City but coast to coast and
> around the world,” Corrigan said. “And those rats that were living
> by that restaurant [or] some place nearby, and perhaps for decades
> having generations of rats that depended on that restaurant food,
> well, life is no longer working for them, and they only have a
> couple of choices.”
> The resulting survival instinct is so strong, they’re even eating
> their own kind. “These rats are fighting with one another; now the
> adults are killing the young in the nest and cannibalizing the
> pups,” Corrigan said."
