Enjoying Norvegicus Rats Rattus Snack
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the late 19th century as we observe a Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus) in a moment of relaxation, relishing a tasty snack. The Brown Rat, a common urban pest and one of the most successful mammals in the world, has been a part of human history for centuries. First appearing in Europe around the 18th century, these rodents quickly spread across the continents due to their adaptability and ability to thrive in various environments. By the late 1800s, they had become a common sight in cities and towns, often living in close proximity to humans. This historical photograph, estimated to be taken around 1870, offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with our shared history and the natural world. The rat's expression of contentment as it enjoys its snack is a reminder of the simple pleasures that all creatures, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, can experience. Brown Rats are omnivorous, feeding on a wide range of foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and even other rodents. They are also known to carry diseases, making them a significant public health concern. However, this image invites us to appreciate the rat as a living creature, deserving of our curiosity and respect. As we look at this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history of our relationship with these fascinating animals and the important role they play in the natural world. This image is not only a window into the past but also a reminder of the interconnectedness of all living beings.
