Wood rats, also known as pack rats, primarily feed on plant materials and are not known for actively hunting prey like carnivorous animals. Instead, they forage for seeds, fruits, and other vegetation, using their strong teeth to gnaw on tough materials. Occasionally, they may scavenge insects or small creatures, but they do not exhibit predatory behaviors typical of true hunters. Their foraging habits are more about gathering and hoarding food rather than catching live prey.
