BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - This Tuesday, the U.S. Forest Service released a video as part of their “Trail Cam Tuesday” of a nearly endangered rat seen for the first time in a long time.

An Allegheny woodrat, an animal considered to be a "species of concern" in West Virginia by the National Parks Service, was spotted on a trail camera in the Monongahela National Forest last month.
