Biology / development:
Wandering-rats live in a hierarchically organized pack with up to 100 individuals. They orient themselves with the sense of smell and the members of a clan recognize each other by the smell. They are loyal to the location and ready to fight defend their territory against other packs.

The females have 3-7 litters with 4-8 cubs each. Wandering-rats are omnivores.
