Many rodents such as rats and mice are laboratory-bred hairless animals, deliberately bred so in order to facilitate various testing methods. If your rat is one of these, the hair will not grow back; it is a hairless breed. If your rat was born with hair and has lost it for some reason you will need to consult a vet, since its condition could lead to health problems for your pet.
Genes and hormones govern the distribution of hair on species such as the human or rat. Other animals such as cats have seasonal hair changes due to a change in hormone levels.
The rats hair main function is to maintain body temperature, just like the hair on humans reduces loss of heat by radiation. They are different that the hair covers the entire rat, where as it is mostly on the top of the head for humans.
Nose, tail and paws.
pick one out of your pubic hair
The naked mole rat. There are many mammals with no hair. The characteristic that sets mammals apart from birds, reptiles and fish is that they have fur, skin or hair.

Yes, most mice have fur. Mice start to grow fur at a few weeks old. There are such things as hairless mice though. I had a hairless rat and she was the sweetest. So don't let hairless fool you they are cute and sweet.

Hairless (or Sphinx) rats are able to eat ordinary rat food. They can eat either Muesli or Complete Foods such as Pets at Home Rat Nuggets that prevent selective feeding.
True hairless rats (they have no whiskers) are rare. The type you are likely referring to are those that are bred from two rexes (curly haired rats). Hairless rats should not be any different from haired rats, other than the lack of hair of course! You'll find each rat has their own personality anyway :)
no it wouldn't it needs hair to stay warm so i guess you could try to but good luck
Being like a hairless rat.
No. Rat-kangaroos are marsupials and quite different to rats and kangaroo-rats, which are placental mammals. Rat-kangaroos do not have a hairless tail, and some species actually have a hairier tail than larger members of the macropod family.
Nope. Unless one of the stationed scientists living there to collect research owned it and kept in heated living conditions. But if I threw a a hairless rat into Antarctica then it would die.
