The rat is a native of Asia, and was unknown in Europe during ancient times, except in ports where ships from Asia docked.

The first kind of rat to reach Europe was the black rat, which came from southern Asia during the 13th century and helped spread the Bubonic Plague, a disease that killed about one-third of the people in Europe. of course they are now widely spread everyone and are now taken in homes in cages as pets.
