  • Brown Rat Rattus norvegicus Length 30-50cm Familiar rodent with omnivorous diet. Swims and climbs well. Adult recalls an outsized mouse but with a larger, plumper body, shorter ears, shorter legs (but larger feet) and a thicker tail. Fur is coarse and mainly brown, grading to grey on underparts. Tail looks scaly with sparse bristles. Utters agonising screams in distress. First reached in Britain in 1720 as a stowaway on boats. Now widespread and abundant especially in areas where food is discarded.

  • Black Rat Rattus rattus Length 30-45cm Nocturnal, omnivorous rodent. Recalls Brown Rat but has sleeker body outline and darker coat. Adult has mainly blackish fur, palest on underparts. Coat looks shaggy due to bristle-like guard hairs. Ears are rather large and tail is relatively long. Squeals in distress. Introduced to Britain; formerly abundant, now scarce and declining. Seldom ventures below ground, have an aversion to water and prefers warmer, drier situations overall.
