 Hi Sandy



No records from collections or other trappng records that I have come acros=
s.  Will check with Don McAlpine (NB Museum) and Fred Scott (Acadia UNivers=
ity Museum), but I wasn't aware of any other records in this part of the co=
untry.



Can you send me a description?  I have only come across them out west.



Andrew

While living in Prince Edward Island I caught an Eastern Woodland Rat. Whil=
e I never have seen on in Nova Scotia I have always been of the opinion tha=
t they did exist here.
Is that assumption  correct or otherwise?

Other than pets... 2 species... Most are the Brown or Norway Rat.  But from=
 time to time, in some selected (urban) spots we get Black or Roof rats.. T=
hey can easily be told apart by the length to the tail and the ears..;l  Th=
e Black rats have a tail that is longer than its body, and naked, somewhat =
rounded ears.



What have you encountered?|
Andrew
