In winter, the collective nests are very frequent and they are occupied by males and females.

Its reproduction takes place from March to October and sometimes all year round. Gestation lasts 19 to 20 days and a female can carry 1 to 2 young.

 Le surmulot ou rat brun

           Le surmulot ou le rat brun est un rongeur de la famille de Muridea. Il mesure environ 25 cm avec une queue de 20 cm et pèse jusqu’à 300 grammes à l’âge adulte. Il s’agit d’une énorme espèce de rat. Il est d’origine japonaise, chinoise et russe et a commencé à faire son entrée en masse en Europe au IXe siècle lors de la période d’incursion des vikings. Actuellement, il a conquis toute la planète sauf dans l’Antarctique car le climat y est peu confortable pour ce rongeur.

           Communément appelée rat d’égout, cette créature détruit tout sur son passage. Son endroit préféré est donc les égouts où il peut se développer rapidement grâce à l’absence de prédateurs. Il envahit la ville très vite surtout si la population y est nombreuse. Souvent, le rat surmulot squatte des lieux d’assainissement et lorsqu’ils sont très nombreux, ils commencent à sortir dans les rues pour s’introduire dans les maisons et les immeubles. Ces rongeurs sont très actifs durant la nuit et les dégâts qu’ils causent sont graves, surtout pour la santé.

          Comme les autres espèces, le surmulot est omnivore, mais tend plutôt à être un animal carnivore. Le rat surmulot possède un odorat très aiguisé. Vivant généralement en groupe, ils marquent leur territoire avec leurs urines.
En ce qui concerne sa reproduction, ces rats d’égouts se reproduisent rapidement. En effet, une femelle peut avoir 4 à 7 portées en une année, et une portée peut donner naissance à 3 à 12 ratons.
          La gestation peut durer de 21 à 28 jours. Ce qui fait qu’une femelle peut avoir plus de 60 ratons par an. Cette espèce de rongeur a une longévité de 2 à 3 ans.
