A ROCKY EXISTENCE: THE WOODRAT IN PENNSYLVANIA

Most people live their lives without ever seeing an Allegheny woodrat. And they probably are ok with that, with rats being rats and all that. But this rat isn't a "rat." Woodrats are important to Pennsylvania, according to the Game Commission, and research is now underway to improve management of this state-listed threatened species.
