Overview:
This attractive native rat has large round ears, a pleasant face, and a modest amount of fur on its tail. Woodrats are active mostly at night and seldom seen, but their houses are easy to spot. Look for a large pile of sticks in the chaparral or coastal sage scrub. A house can be 6 feet tall, and may have some of the interesting objects the owner has collected incorporated into the walls.
