African giant pouched rats are named for their large cheek pouches (like a hamster). These omnivorous rats do not always swallow their food immediately - instead, they store it away in their cheek pouches to feast on the goodies later. It's #FullCheekFriday – HeroRAT Maseko gets to stuff his pouches with a feast. 🐭 Enjoy the weekend everyone! 🥳 #FridayVibes #TGIF #FCF #GardenLunch | APOPO
