b'RATS: They love pizza. They invade taquerias at midnight. They scurry. They cuddle. They outsmart. They inspire movies that inspire musicals. Proving that not just woodsy megafauna can be charismatic, rats have lives we would never suspect. Globally-lauded Urban Rodentologist Dr. Robert Corrigan, or Bobby if you like, has been studying these animals in their big-city ecosystem for decades and he is a wonder-filled joy. Learn about rats\\u2019 origin story, the difference between a rat and a mouse, where they live, their preferred \\u201cfood dialects,\\u201d and how to (hopefully humanely) keep one out of your house -- or car? Might as well start to love and respect them, because we\\u2019re not-too-distantly related and one day\\u2026 they may be steering the ship.\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nFollow Bobby at Twitter.com/Rodentologist\\n\\nSponsor links: www.alieward.com/ologies-sponsors\\n\\nA donation went to the Yash Gandhi Foundation: https://www.ygf4icell.org/\\n\\nMore links and info at alieward.com/ologies/rodentology\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month: www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, pins, totes!\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/ologies or instagram.com/ologies\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/AlieWard or instagram.com/AlieWard\\n\\nSound editing by Jarrett Sleeper of MindJam Media & Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
