The rat that I caught was in the mid 1970s. From memory this rat was about
the size of a Norway rat but 
it was striking in its different appearance. The color of the under hair was
brownish grey on its back rather than grey of the Norway rat 
and had a light color to white underside. It had guard hairs similar to a
muskrat but more sparse. 
There was a number of guard type hairs the length of the tail. That is all I
can provide with regard to description and it is all from memory.
Everyone who saw this rat said they had never seen one like it before.
Sandy
