Look at the picture. You can see a rat standing on a wooden floor. Its short brown-gray fur looks smooth. A long pink tail stretches behind the body. Rounded ears rise on the head. Fine white whiskers spread from the muzzle. Sharp claws grip the boards. Small black eyes look alert. A pointed nose sniffs the air. Front paws hold a tiny crumb of food. The thin neck supports the head. The narrow flexible body is ready to move. The animal seems curious and quick. Around it lie a few bread crumbs.

Rats belong to the family Muridae. The common genus is Rattus. There are more than 60 living species worldwide. Their ever-growing incisors must be worn down by gnawing. A long naked tail helps with balance and heat loss. The flexible front paws can grasp food like small hands. Whiskers are used for navigation in the dark. Typical body length is 20–28 cm without the tail. Adult body weight is usually 150–500 g. Usual running speed reaches about 13 km/hr. Rats are omnivores and adapt to many diets. The female’s gestation lasts about 21–24 days. A typical litter has 6–12 pups. Rats communicate with ultrasound calls and scent marks. Their keen smell and learning ability are used in scientific research.
