Rats scurry. They stay out of the open. If they are in a house or building, you will always notice that they stay close to the walls or objects that are in the room. Rats have poor eyesight and rely on their whiskers to navigate in their world. They have the ability to learn and remember. Pet rats and research rats have been trained to go through mazes because of how rats naturally move about and because of their remarkable ability to learn and remember things. In nature, when they are not in the sewers or in peoples' houses and buildings, they actually just burrow underground. When they need to, rats can run fast. They can also swim, but they prefer not to and don't like it. They swim only when their lives depend on it.
