Types of Rats

APPEARANCE
Most rats are slender and weigh between 1/2 to 1 lb, have gray/brown fur, and have scaly, hairless tails. Rats have been known to reach nearly a foot in length. Like most rodents, rats have protruding teeth, whiskers, and small eyes. Particularly common in Dallas, roof rats are nearly 3-4x larger than the average house mouse.
DIET
Rats are opportunistic foragers who will eat whatever they can find. Dallas is home to great food sources for rats—. The rodents commonly dig through trash bins and landfills in residential areas for easy meals. Both Norway and roof rats also pilfer animal food meant for livestock or cats and dogs. Other favorite meals include snakes, frogs, & even other rodents like mice.
HABITAT
Almost any habitat is suitable for rats, as they adapt with ease to the available resources of a given area. Antarctica is the only continent without rat populations. Desirable habitats provide water and food sources in steady, surplus supplies. As such, rats maintain a cosmopolitan distribution and are regularly found wherever people live.
