Intelligent animals under our roof
The domestic rat comes from the tree-dwelling form from Southern Europe. Even today they still nest in trees. As a synanthrophic species they now live in herds of up 60 animals more frequently in barns, dry attics and granaries. Domestic rats are very curious and playful. They react cautiously to danger and climb up objects. When they find a new food source only one of them tries the food alone first.
