we miss you courage2 and continue to think of you!

Mark1014 brought up how the nutria are very similar to the capybara and how much damage they can cause. I was watching a National Geographic documentary awhile back. It mentioned, that another rodent species, the Gambian African Pouch rat, has become a problem in the Southern United States and caused for a lot of destruction. Unlike their domestic rat counterparts, they are much larger and not considered to be a true rat. In contrast, they are considered to be a uniquely African branch of muroid rodents. They differ from their domestic rat counterparts in that they can carry food in its pouches and they live 5-7 years, while domestic rats live to be ~2 years of age and do not have pouches. However, they are similar in that they are social creatures and live in groups. African Pouch rats have been trained and used to detect land mines


I always look forward to seeing each and every one of you here each day! I hope to see you all here again tomorrow!
