The Rat

Rats are small, nimble creatures with a robust coat of fur ranging from white to gray to brown and even black. They have long, hairless tails and dainty paws with sharp claws. These intelligent omnivores have keen senses of taste, touch, smell, and hearing but poor eyesight. Known for their adaptability, rats can be found around the world in nearly every habitat from sewers to skyscrapers.
