> Members of the North American Lunar Search Team, puzzled at the high 
> mortality rate of the team's stock of expensive trained meteorite rats, 
> discovered early this morning that a competitive instinct possessed by 
> another desert dweller has resulted in an unfortunate series of lethal 
> encounters. The animal in question apparently takes offense at the rats 
> searching in it's turf. Team members have so far failed in their attempts 
> to train the animal mainly due to lack of volunteers.
