RATZILLA: Baby Rats Showing Heroism

Baby Rats Showing Heroism

18 June 2018

4 years ago, napaiyak ako sa nakita kong heroism ng rats.

May nanay na nagpapadede ng baby niya, pinkie pa ito so one week old pa lang.

After uminom ng nanay sa water bowl, ay nag crawl around ito at yung baby na naka cling sa nipples niya nahulog doon sa bowl. Medyo mababaw lang ito pero of course it had hard time going out.

Kukunin ko sana then I saw na may 2 older siblings (they were 4 weeks old that time, from another mother) na nakita ko na hinahatak yung baby outside the bowl. Yung isaa pa nga, yung sister, pumasok sa bowl just to push the baby out, then they did it in a few seconds.

This was a 6-day old baby rat (wild agouti color). Shot with Nikon D5200 + Nikkor 18-55mm VR2 + reverse ring. 3 months old pa lang camera ko dito hehe #throwback
