Mummified Wild Rat (creepy)

I thought I would post some picture of the mummified dead rat I found today while ripping out some rotting wood from the shed
Its quite strange and creepy looking
Maybe I should try selling it on ebay ,I did see a mummified pigeon for sale on ebay before









dont have nightmares now

fascinating - though it does resemble ratclyffe but still very cool.

oooh also - don't touch it directly - be wary of diseases - they carry all manner of nasty things - not to mention weils disease.

Dont worry I dont want to touch it with my bare hands anyway
When I first picked it up I thought it was a stone as it was in some earth and stuff ,but it was lighter than a stone then I realised what it was ,thankfully I had my garden gloves on
I gave it a bit of a clean with a small brush ,its quite creepy but still very interesting ,it could have been there for years ,it certainly seems quite old its totally dried out and only has a teeny bit of hair left on it
its just like the egyptian mummys you see on TV lol

I've never seen anything like it - I wonder how the rat died - it looks almost like it just curled up and went to sleep?

but its a bit creepy I don't think I could have it in my house
