Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus), sometimes called brown or sewer rats, are stocky burrowing rodents that are larger than roof rats. Their burrows are found along building foundations, beneath rubbish or woodpiles, and in moist areas in and around gardens and fields. Nests may be lined with shredded paper, cloth, or other fibrous material. When Norway rats invade buildings, they usually remain in the basement or ground floor. The Norway rat occurs throughout the 48 contiguous United States. Generally it is founds at lower elevations but may occur wherever people live.
Roof rats (Rattus rattus), sometimes called black rats, are slightly smaller than Norway rats. Unlike Norway rats, their tails are longer than their heads and bodies combined. Roof rats are very agile climbers and usually live and nest above ground in shrubs, trees, and dense vegetation such as ivy. In buildings, they are most often found in enclosed or elevated spaces in attics, walls, false ceilings, and cabinets. The roof rat has a more limited geographical range than the Norway rat, preferring ocean-influenced, warmer climates. In areas where the roof rat occurs, the Norway rat may also be present. Their favorite habitats are attics, trees, and overgrown shrubbery or vines. Residential or industrial areas with mature landscaping provide good habitat, as does riparian vegetation of riverbanks and streams. Roof rats prefer to nest in locations off the ground and rarely dig burrows for living quarters if off-the-ground sites exist

Rats adapt to their environment by pooing and sitting in it!
how do leeches adapt their environment
Rainforests have developed various adaptations to thrive in their environment, such as tall trees to capture sunlight, broad leaves for efficient photosynthesis, and dense foliage to retain moisture and provide habitat for diverse species. Additionally, many plants have evolved symbiotic relationships with animals for pollination and seed dispersal. The high biodiversity in rainforests helps in creating a resilient ecosystem that can withstand disturbances like storms and droughts.
How did Jamestown colonists adapt to their environment?
If plants do not adapt, they do not survive in that particular environment.
The desert is the environment. It does not adapt. Organisms in an ecosystem adapt to the environment.
Only living things adapt to the environment. Uluru is a natural land feature, and not alive. It does not need to adapt to the environment.
can technology help people adapt environment
They PUFF UP !
To survive. If an organism does not adapt it dies.
* they adapt by their legs and gills
yes we do adapt to our environment...:)
