    I’ve read, many years ago, how the common grey squirrel ( which is ubiquitous in the eastern USA) will hunt mice and eat only their brains, presumably for missing nutrients

      I live in a port city crawling with rats and mice. They are so many that it’s common to see freshly dead rodents on the bike trail after they were hit by e bikes.

      What’s crazy is how quickly they get scavenged by crows and squirrels. They dissappear almost immediately.
