EDIT: You can ignore the note below, I have now compiled and added a preloader. Any problems please let me know!
(Unless your connection is fast, it may be best to wait for it to run through before watching. Hopefully in the near future I'll be able to make a loader...)

Oops, somehow you're a rat. Sniffling around a house trying to figure out what happened when, click, you're in a trap. You thank your blessings that the trap is a humane trap. Soon enough a nice anthro monitor lizard takes the trap away and puts it in his van. Surely you can explain to him, or show him you aren't just a normal rat; then all will be fine. Maybe he'll even help you fix the problem.

Unfortunately you don't get a chance to explain. At the end of a long day, when many more traps lay beside yours. He opens your trap and a pair of tongues hoist you out. The next thing you see is the scene above. The slimy maw of the monitor lizard takes you in, a few other rats follow you down the one way tunnel. Inside is warm and squishy, you feel the occasional brush of your fellow rats. They are trying to find a way out. A soft thumping can be made out over the gurgling of the stomach which now holds you all...

Damn, internal/close-up stuff like this is hard work. The camera is so close to the mesh that any imperfection in the mesh or lack of needed detail in/on the surface makes it look awful. Still not happy with the drool! I need to revisit and work on this I think to get it right.

I wanted to keep the original timings, but had to relent. The rat was plunged into total darkness way too quickly. The animation which came out was a confusing, lacklustre blur. I substantially slowed the animation as he swallows to make it work.
