In the video, there are two black rats in a cage with wood shavings on the floor. One rat is standing on its hind legs, while the other is sitting on its hind legs. The standing rat is moving its front paws in a way that suggests it is trying to climb onto the other rat. The sitting rat seems to be resisting the attempt, as it does not move from its position. The cage appears to be indoors, and there are no other objects or animals visible in the video. The rats are the main focus of the video, and their actions are the central event.
