Thanks for your question, Ethan! While video footage of brown rats eating bats may be new, scientists think the rats have been doing this for a while. This can happen when the two animals share the same habitat. As for rabies, that's definitely a risk for wild animals. Raccoons, skunks, and bats can all carry the disease. However, it's actually very rare for RATS to carry rabies. 🐀

Nice to meet you, Savannah! Thanks for reading News-O-Matic!

Hey, Sofia! Cats do not actually have nine lives. They have one, just like other living things. And cats do not ALWAYS land on their feet! However, they DO land on their feet A LOT. They have the ability to twist their bodies in the air while they're falling to rotate so they land on their feet. Then they extend their legs to help them land more safely. These skills might be why cats got the reputation of having nine lives! 🐱

Hey, Jeremiah! For most living things, trash is not a good thing to eat. Trash does harm and kill fish if they eat it. That's why it's important to make sure we're responsible with our trash and keep it out of nature. Also, fish do have bones, including spines.
