Rough Draft Eastern woodrats (Neotoma Floridana) are very aggressive animals. Like many other packrats they like to be on their own in the world.[1] They would rather be alone and are found fighting when in contact with each other.[2] They go based on a hierarchy and the older woodrats will chase and fight younger woodrats.[2] Males tend to rear up and fight each other whereas a male will just go in and kill a female.[3] The only time they are not aggressive towards each other is during reproduction. The woodrat mothers will protect their babies and often huddle around them in dangerous situations.[4] Rebeccatmurray (talk) 13:35, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
