Slow motion footage shows a feisty ‘ninja’ rat skilfully avoiding snake attacks.
A research paper called
ninjarat.org spent three months following kangaroo rats through the Sonoran Desert outside Yuma, Arizona, to capture the incredible videos.
The lightning fast rodent has to have incredible reflexes as it dodges the onslaughts of potentially poisonous bites and was filmed at 500 frames per second to be able to view it all.
Leaping into the air, the kangaroo rat barely avoids the mouth and teeth of the species sidewinder rattlesnakes.
