Rat



"Great! I hate those darn rats. Well, at least my village is rat-free, but since there are lots and lots of rats around the world, rat population has continued to thrive here in the ruined, nuclear weapon-destroyed island of Guam. I bet there may be mutated rats out there... but I need to be prepared to kill 'em first before investigating the light."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Arrival

Rats are various medium-sized, long-tailed rodents. Species of rats are found throughout the order Rodentia, but stereotypical rats are found in the genus Rattus. Other rat genera include Neotoma (pack rats), Bandicota (bandicoot rats) and Dipodomys (kangaroo rats).

Rats are typically distinguished from mice by their size. Generally, when someone discovers a large muroid rodent, its common nameincludes the term rat, while if it is smaller, its name includes the term mouse. The common terms rat and mouse are not taxonomicallyspecific. In other words, rat is not a scientific term; if it were, all rats would belong to the genus Rattus.
