Show Notes

A rat king looks sort of similar to an ant mill, in that both are circles, but a rat king occurs when rats get their tails knotted and stuck together. There has been some scientific controversy over where this occurs in nature, or if it’s always done by humans. Science is leaning toward it being real because a similar phenomenon in squirrels is well-documented. Learn more as read by Rachel Teichman, LMSW and Victor Varnado, KSN.
