and the undersides and feet are<br />
white. The tail is completely covered<br />
with hair and is blackish gray above,<br />
white underneath.<br />

Allegheny woodrats can be found<br />
in rocky outcrops, such as cliffs and<br />
caves, in forested areas.<br />

Woodrats nest in rock crevices and<br />
usually produce three litters a year.<br />
did you know?<br />
The Allegheny woodrat’s whiskers<br />
are so long that when pulled back,<br />
they reach the shoulders. This<br />
characteristic sets it apart from other<br />
rats.<br />
