MEMO: TO PROFESSOR KIDDINGHIMSELF.... (via Brian Boys):
'Fossil' rock rat pictured alive (BBC, 6/15/06)
Images have been obtained of a live Laotian rock rat, the animal science now believes to be the sole survivor of an ancient group of rodents.The kha-nyou, as it is known locally, was trapped by an expedition in May.
The pictures show a friendly, furry creature about the size of a squirrel that waddles a bit like a duck.
Experts say the kha-nyou can trace its line to a rodent family that initial studies had suggested became extinct more than 11 million years ago.
After 11 million years he's not the only survivor. Posted by Orrin Judd at June 15, 2006 4:43 PM

To determine the rat population in a given area take the number of rats seen in that area and multiply by 115. This holds true in my woodshead at least, as I discovered upon tearing it down this spring.
