Galapagos Woolly-Tailed Rat

Galapagos woolly-tailed rats are native Galapagos small rodents that are related to the rice rats.

Decription
Galapagos woolly-tailed rats are similar to most rice rat species, but with a slender and more mongoose-like body shape and a more hairy tail to cope with the sharp bushes and shrubs of the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos woolly-tailed rats also have long hind legs to hop in case of danger. The Galapagos woolly-tailed rats are also omnivorous so they feed on any edible items.
