The woodrat, also known as the pack rat, is a medium-sized rodent belonging to the family Cricetidae. These animals are primarily found in North America, particularly in rocky or brushy habitats. Woodrats are known for their distinctive long tails and large ears, which help them navigate their environment. They are nocturnal and are often seen foraging for food at night. Woodrats are known for their unique behavior of collecting and hoarding various items, including twigs, leaves, and even human-made objects. This behavior is not only a means of gathering food but also serves to create nests. Their diet mainly consists of plant material, seeds, and fruits, making them herbivorous creatures.
