This was an interesting development.

The Beta male was hunkered down, staring into a small dark tunnel beneath a tree's roots, completely focused and attempting to make out any movement in the gloom. He could smell them, and while he had never tasted rat, they smelled like prey enough to him that he'd be willing to try. The only problem was how to get them to come to him, for there was no way his shoulders were fitting into that small opening.

The position would be an odd one to any who might come upon him, but he wasn't worried about that right now. His mind was on the task at hand and the puzzle it posed. Perhaps he could dig from behind, but then they would run off. He wasn't quick enough that he could follow. If he tried going in from the front they would just retreat further back and the problem would persist.

Rumbling in frustration, he continued to think on it. "You know, little buggers, you could just come out like good little bites and make the whole thing a lot easier," he muttered. Not likely.
