Rat Facts:

1. The average rat courting ritual lasts about two seconds.
2. Rats love chocolate.
3. A group of rats is called a mischief.
4. Rats have bellybuttons.
5. Over 50% of the animals dissected in high school Biology classrooms are rats.

Help stop the unnecessary dissection of rats with this (sort of) anatomically correct Knitted Lab Rat in Dissection Tray.
