rough draft of research report on rats

hey there here is my rough draft for my research report on rats.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to tell you something’s about rats. When you hear the word “Rat,” what do you think? You think of shadows, plague and disease, correct? But, those aren’t the only rats. Pet rats and vermin both have a very good sense of smell, but a pet rat is much softer, much nicer, and, although related to vermin by thousands of generations, don’t mind being in cages.

Rats as vermin have been around for thousands of years, while pet rats have possibly been around maybe a hundred years or so. Vermin rats generally bite and have fleas, but house rats love to climb and gnaw on things, which they actually need to do, to prevent their teeth from growing too big and getting infected. Pet rats have been bred for many years for different things, including different fur styles and eye colors. There are even rat shows with judges in places. Rats tails are also interesting, as they feel like snake skin, but they only feel like that, when your petting them from 1 direction. The other direction, they don’t feel like much at all.

There are different breeds of rats beside pet and vermin. For example, the Satin breed has fine, short yet dense, soft and silky feel to it. The coat has a unique appearance to it, with a lustrous and iridescent sheen. If there is some white, it is okay if it is a little yellow, or colored.

Odd eye is a very odd breed. Like all other breeds, the coat can be any color, but the eyes have to be 2 different colors, with either eyes being one of these colors: Pink, red ruby, dark ruby, brown, and black. The eye colors must be as different as possible, with the same clarity in each. The rat also should not favor one eye over the other.

The coat of the rex breed should be an even length, evenly dense, not that harsh with not many guard hairs. The coat should be wavy or curled, but, if it’s wavy or curled, it should be evenly. There should be less curl on the stomach, and the whiskers can be kinky, curly, or curved.

There are also different varieties, showing how the color should be distributed. If a rat’s variety is a self, it is all one color. If Irish, there should be a solid colored rat, with a white triangle on the stomach and white feet.

Some other varieties include hooded and bareback. A hooded rat has color on the head and shoulders, plus a small stripe down the back. A bareback rat has color on only its head and shoulders.

Some colors include silverfawn, mink, and champagne. A silverfawn colored rat has a pale apricot colored coat with silver guard hairs and pink eyes. A mink rat has a silver-brown coat with black eyes. A champagne rat has a warm creamy off-white to pinkish-grey coat with pink eyes.

Some more colors include blue, black, and white. A blue colored rat is not actually blue, but more like a slate-grey to pale grey-blue in color with black eyes. A black rat has a dark, glossy coat, often more of a chocolate color that black, usually silvered with black eyes. A white rat has a pure white coat and has pink eyes, giving it the nick-name PEW, or Pink-Eyed White.

Although people think of vermin when they hear the word “Rat,” the house pet variety are incredibly cute. Pet rats are incredibly soft and fuzzy. Some weird things about our rat are that she loves music, and also loves to tickle my ear with her nose, plus she can grab a piece of bread from me quickly, like she’s saying “Mine, mine,” although she is the only rat in the cage, which seems very funny, as well as love to lick your finger if you put your finger in.

okay, bye.
