_____________________ Mammals 13 - Brown Rats 1

                                                           BROWN RAT Rattus norvegicus

• This ubiquitous mammal has been tremendously successful in either wild or commensal situations and the species appears to sidetrack almost every attempt at population regulation or eradication. Brown Rats are intelligent, animated and rather resourceful creatures and they are entertaining and challenging subjects to film. They are also excellent swimmers and many 'sightings' of Water Voles are probably misidentifications of this species.
