Rat

The term rat is also used in the names of other small mammals that are not true rats. Examples include the North American pack rats (aka wood rats^[3]) and a number of species loosely called kangaroo rats.^[3] Rats such as the bandicoot rat (Bandicota bengalensis) are murine rodents related to true rats but are not members of the genus Rattus.^[4][5]
