Rats
Appearance
Rats have thin tails and are originated in Asia and Australia. However, now you can see them all around the world. While the True rats are referred to as the members of the genus Rattus, even other rodent genera seem to share nearly similar characteristics. Rats differ from mice in terms of size. Rats are larger and have longer, thinner bodies. There are more than 60 different species of rat that come in different sizes. Rats in India are typically 5 inches or longer.
Behaviour
Rats stick together in packs. A new pack is formed when a male and female rip apart from the old pack and nest in a different area. Brown rats are ruled by the largest male in the pack, while the other rats have several dominant males or females in a pack. Talking of the food they consume, rats are omnivores and prefer meat. House rats depend on uneaten food or unprotected food by humans. Rats are known to eat grains and kill insects. They also feed on certain water animals, mammals, birds, and fish for food.
