Rat?

[Chocky]

This little animal came out to play whilst I was sitting on a bench along Weasel Run.
But I think it i not a cute little animal. I think it might be a Rat

I think it's a Brown Rat - Rattus norvegicus, Beryl.

[Chocky]

Yes. I think you are right
It has a naked tail and if I remember you said a while back that was how to ID a rat.
Thanks Rolf

black rat - ratus ratus is such a cool latin name... pahh to the brown rat.. lol.. though i do think they are cool, saw one nearly knock himself out.. Shot across a path into the side of canal boat, could hear the ring as it hit... expected to see a floating out cold rat!!
