Multimammate Rat
Multimammate rats are unique in the number of teats found on the female. Rats and mice usually
have a maximum of 5 pairs of teats, the multimammate however has 8 to 10 pairs. These teats run
from just below the armpit to the groin. The multimammate rat is, otherwise, very similar to the
ship rat. The fur is soft and brown in colour with white underparts. The size of the body ranges
from 4 to 6 inches, excluding the length of the tail. MORE!
