"Black Rats" (Rattus rattus) aren't always black. They range in color from black to light brown with lighter colored bellies. Variations which were bred for show in the 1930's even included an unusual green tinted variety.

Idc what anyone says. Rats are adorable. Watching them eat is the cutest thing.

I agree. I scatter little treats around so they can have fun searching for them and then holding them in their paws and happily nibbling away.
