Stick-nest Rat 2

Stick-nest Rat 2

The stick habitations will reach 3 ft in height and 4 ft in width. Secured by large stones the nest is secure in high winds and in the possible attack of a predator. Within the larger structure are smaller grassy nests. Once hunted by the Aborigines the primary predators of the stick-nest rat are cave owls. Stick-nest rats are found in Australia and on the surrounding islands. [BM] {FW}
