RustyKnight posted:what about Common brushtail possum, or is there a rule that opossums are the american ones and possums are the australian? Opossums are the American ones, 'possum is contraction of that, possum is Australian. Opossum is a mangled version of the Algonquin word for the Virginia opossum, Virginia being colonized before Australia.

 I made this a few years ago, when Trump first announced his thing. It came up in a conversation. Maybe it's worth a giggle. What threw me off was that the lower-right guy is actually animated and nobody else is.

If I remember right, which is a lot to ask right now, the fleas once infected would also go into a biting frenzy which helped it spread that form of the plague. There was also pneumonic plague which spread human to human and was much more infectious.

Rats get all the blame for the fleas, but man, all the people had fleas too. And the cats and dogs. Fleas are opportunistic; unlike lice, which will live on one species and only one species, fleas might prefer one type of host to another but they'll hop on anything warm and moving. The rats weren't spreading plague more than anything else was, and the rats only followed us. Rats are destructive, but they're highly social and pretty drat intelligent. At least respect your adversary. Unrelated rat story: once one of my rats saw me get some chocolate (for me, but I used to use chocolate chips as training treats for them) out of my stash when they were having some free time out of the cage, and she went and woke up her girlfriend who was having a nap somewhere out of sight, and then they came and tackled me together. Had to make sure everyone got a taste!

Rats are awesome, but rodents in general are the primary reservoir for plague bacteria and are kinda responsible for the transmission through fleas to humans  Edit: also more rat stories please. This one was adorable. My rat story is that when I was growing up, my friend had a pair of rats and we would construct elaborate structures for them to traverse in order to get treats, like a little rope bridge that they had to climb upsidedown across from one counter to the other. They were best buds and slept together in a little pile of fur. They would also chase down and corner the terrified rabbit that lived with them, all running around free in the house. My friend's mom was pretty weird! Mauser has a new favorite as of 00:54 on Nov 25, 2020 |

The thing about rats was that they didn't respect quarantines, which even pre-germ-theory societies understood pretty well
