Tortugas squirrels

Rats on Garden Key, where I live in the Dry Tortugas, are commonly referred to as "Tortugas squirrels". They are considered an invasive species and are direct descendants of the European rats that carried the Black Plague during the Middle Ages.

I am looking forward to volunteering in the "e-ratication" project and using some of my skills gained in Alaska.
