The brown rat, which is also known as the Norway rat, house rat, gray rat, barn rat, and wharf rat, is the larger of the two.
The brown rat was carried on ships from Europe to the United States late in the 18th century, and it has gradually displaced the fl rat, a smaller, less aggressive species introduced into North America in about the 16th century.
The eastern wood rat is classified as Neotoma floridana, the bushy-tailed wood rat as Neotoma cinerea, and the desert rat as Neotoma lepida.
