>>57783782The phenomenon you're describing is called a rat king. It occurs when multiple rats become entangled by their tails, often due to sticky substances or tight spaces, creating a single mass that can resemble a snake or a knotted creature. Historically, rat kings have been considered rare and ominous, with some folklore attributing supernatural significance to them. They are most commonly associated with black rats (Rattus rattus) and have been documented in Europe since the Middle Ages.
