Out walking the dog earlier and came across this.

How does something die in this posture? Frightened to death perhaps?

[Arcam]

Was it definatly real and not some well made joke rodent?

Looked real to me, plus there were a number of flies showing interest in it.

Weird, with the eyes open it looked like it is frozen in time ready to pounce.

Run over .....


.... by a slow worm?

It looks like it has been swallowed then regurgitated.

[Kingstepper]

The proverbial drowned rat?

I suspect that what has happened is that after it died, and starts to lose moisture, the skin has contracted and opened the eyelids. If it was out in the open, then something has moved it there, otherwise animals in the wild usually find shelter to die under. It also doesn't look like it has been dead long.

It’s hard to see it in the photo but it’s actually up on it’s front legs.

Bit pervy but each to their own

Looks like it was killed in a trap, big crease across its back.

Perfectly aligned
So it must be Uk sourced

[Morning Wood]

It probably just heard about the latest Rolex price increase.

[Rodder]

Poisoned?

Why? It’s a dead rodent that doesn’t look like it’s dead, so I took a photo to ask better minds than mine on here. I can assure you I don’t make a habit of photographing dead animals.

[100thmonkey]

It’s been hit by a Mamil

That’s been killed in a mousetrap, gone into rigor mortis hence the fixed upright position and then someone has just chucked it into the street.

Yes, that would explain the eyes open and posture.
