~ footed rodents are cousins.
~ OF course, all rodents look
4 alike to most folks. The way
to tell them apart is to know well
the points of one species, and after
that it is easy to recognize the differ
ent members. You know, one way
to detect counterfeit is by knowing
the genuine from the false. So. in
order to identify natures children,
you have to know the outstanding
points belonging to the specie, and
it is smooth sailing after this, in
most instances.
These creatures form a very ex-
tensive group. Their range is from
New Jersey southwark and over a
large area of South America. There
are only four species in the United
States. They look very much alike
to the casual observer. Even though
there exists such an aversion toward
them, they are really handsome fell
lows. They are most cleanly about
their persons and habits, and their
food is the cleanest to be found
grain and seeds.
The one pictured here is the largest
In the United States. It has found
Florida and west from there to Texas
the most delightful place in which
70 flourish. It is dark brown above,
gray below, and deeper in shade than
the typical one found from New Jersey
to Georgia. The Texas member of
the clan wears fur coat with yel-
lowish tinge.
Many have mistaken the rice rat
for the younger Norway rats. You
will find the rice eaters have longer
tails, their coats are a deeper brown,
and more glossy. Besides, should you
have q Closeup" you will notice
they have shiny hair in their ears
and a fringe of white decorating the
lower part of each ear. This gives
you field marks, and oh, what chance
to prove to your pal and self, how
wonderful Is the ability to recognize
the various members of an interesting
tribe.
