I liked the proposition of this experiment: set a mouse loose on a 20-acre island, and then see how hard he is to catch! (See story.)
A favorite quote: "Our findings confirm that eliminating a single invading rat is disproportionately difficult," James Russell and his colleagues said in a report in the science journal Nature.

My favorite part is how the rat set the rodent open water distance swimming record (400 meters).
They said he (or she) weighed 11 ounces. I weigh 150 pounds, so if you extrapolate the rat's size to mine, it would equivalent to me swimming about 125 miles!!
