The Rat Lord - 30 Jan 2007 12:07 GMT
i was at a wendys downtown the other day and had the pleasure (for me) of
watching a rat raid the dumpster. back and forth he went, from dumpster to a
hole in the wall of a building next door. he was the classic silver-grey
color of the urban rat. i still can't figure out why they grow so big. must
be all of the free ranging...

I love watching rats in the wild too - people think you are nuts, especially
when you start 'awww-ing' like I do, but hey who cares ;o)

They find dead wild rats regularly in our highly respected university! I
even found a living one in my apartment here once, he was cute but I'm glad
it's gone! I dont want wild ones interfering with my pets!

most wild rats are the same breed as the pet ones : rattus norvegicus

there is one other more rare type. i think people call them roof rats.
