Rattus rattus, Roof Rat View in CoL
The subspecific status of the roof rat on Jeju is uncertain ( Won and Smith, 1999). Although, similar to the brown rat, the roof rat inhabits human habitations, R. rattus is limited to port areas by R. norvegicus ( Won, 1967) . Unlike the house mouse and brown rat, the roof rat is non-native on Jeju and was introduced ( Won and Smith, 1999).
