Pokedex Entry
Rattus opportunus is a small, highly adaptable rodent commonly found in urban and suburban environments. With a body length of approximately 20 cm and a long, hairless tail, it exhibits rapid locomotion, allowing it to evade predators effectively. Its continuously growing incisors are well adapted for gnawing, and it utilizes these sharp teeth to forage on a wide variety of materials, from seeds and grains to man-made substances like wood and plastic. This species demonstrates remarkable opportunism in its feeding habits, scavenging for food scraps and nesting materials, thus thriving in areas with human activity. Rattus opportunus is primarily nocturnal, employing a keen sense of smell, aided by its long whiskers, to locate food in the dark. Its high reproductive rate enables it to establish large colonies quickly, contributing to its status as a common yet often problematic species in urban ecosystems. The species’ ability to thrive in diverse environments underscores its evolutionary success as a synanthropic organism.
