What is a Rat?
Rats are small, smart mammals with long tails, big ears, and twitchy noses. They live all over the world, often near people, in cities, farms, or forests. Most rats weigh around 1 pound (0.5 kilograms) and can live up to 3 or 4 years. They are known for being clever problem-solvers and fast learners. Rats eat fruits, grains, seeds, and sometimes tiny insects. They use their sharp front teeth to nibble, and their whiskers to feel around in the dark. Rats are very social and love living in groups, where they play, cuddle, and even groom each other. With their gentle behavior and playful curiosity, rats are more than just clever—they're full of charm!
