Who's the King of the Water Log? It's Mr. Rat, all hail his majesty!

In this hilarious snapshot captured by FLPA/Mike Lane, we witness a truly extraordinary sight - a Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus) showcasing its impressive aquatic skills! Standing tall on a log in the water, this adult rat seems to have mastered the art of balance and adventure. With its beady eyes gleaming mischievously and fur glistening under the summer sun, our furry friend appears to be enjoying an unexpected dip in England's fresh waters. This image reminds us that even seemingly ordinary creatures can surprise us with their unique talents. While some may consider rats as aliens due to their Asian origins and introduction into Europe, this photo proves that they've adapted well to their new habitat. Our British brown buddy effortlessly blends into his surroundings while adding a touch of exotic flair to English wildlife. So next time you're out exploring nature in Britain or anywhere else for that matter, keep your eyes peeled for these incredible rodents who are always up for an adventure. And if you happen to spot one striking a pose like our water-loving hero here, don't forget to give them a round of applause – after all, it takes real talent to stand tall on a log like royalty.
