The Rat With A Hole In Its Belly Cache

This is The Rat With A Hole In Its Belly Cache, I think its the first sort of full sized rat cache that I found. So I took a bunch of pictures. I remember him being an easy find, do rats like trees? I wonder, I've never seen a rat in the wild, I've only ever seen them indoors in industrial areas, but apparently this one likes the woods.

Hiding out in this nook, hope he doesn't bite!

Do rats jump and or pounce, like cats?

He has a strange genital implant.
