Figure 2. During play fighting, rats often adopt a posture in which one animal is standing over another that is lying on its back. When standing on top, rats typically do so with their hind paws on the ground, this provides it with postural support and so frees its forepaws in order to hold and restrain its partner (a). However, sometimes, and especially in the juvenile period, the rat on top stands with all four paws on its supine partner (b). This position is unstable, as the supine partner is usually squirming underneath it. (From Foroud & Pellis (2003), copyright 2003 by Wiley. Copied with permission).
