The Australian swamp rat (''Rattus lutreolus'') is a species of rat occurring around the coast of south and eastern Australia. It occurs in lowland country from Fraser Island down the coast of New South Wales and Victoria to the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia. A subspecies ''velutinus'' occurs in Tasmania, and another subspecies ''lacus'' lives in isolated patches of high altitude rainforest near Atherton, Queensland. Behaviour is partly nocturnal and diurnal. The diet is vegetarian. ''Rattus lutreolus'' lives in dense, wet, low vegetation. The swamp rat can be seen at places like the Healesville Sanctuary, where they live in the grounds. ==References== * * A Field Guide to Mammals of Australia Peter Menkhorst & Frank Knight ISBN 0-19-550870-X 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian swamp rat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
