I am here for Friends

About Me

I am Rat. I am a member of the genus Rattus, more specifically the Brown Rat, R. norvegicus. I have dark brown fur, little pink round ears, and a long, scaly tail that is utilized to regulate my body temperature. I am omnivorous just like you. I can, and will eat just about anything. My species are opportunistic survivors and often live with and near humans. The Black Plague is traditionally believed to have been caused by the micro-organism Yersinia pestis, carried by the rat flea Xenopsylla cheopis which preyed on rats living in European cities of the day; these rats were victims of the plague themselves.In Imperial Chinese culture, the rat (sometimes referred to as a mouse) is the first of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. People born in this year are expected to possess qualities associated with rats, including creativity, honesty, generosity & ambition. Enter your comments here......squeak
