These are the only two photos I have and they were taken in 2014 so the animal itself is long gone. I have loaded an magnified image of tail. Sorry no images of the other ear or hind foot. Will keep it in mind for next time. I had assumed it was R. fuscipes. It is not R. rattus. Tail too short although it looks like it has been trimmed a bit at some stage. Ears too small. Surrounding habitat is difficult. It varies a lot. Probably mostly dry sclerophyll forest that is extremely wet at the moment. Old cleared areas are reverting to forest via ti tree, Bursaria and wattles. Very slowly.

Rattus rattus

Unfortunately not enough identifying features in the photo to give a specific ID.
What is the background to the photos? Did the person who caught them not provide an ID?

Vespertilionidae (family)

Hi arjay, are you able to upload a photo of the sole of the hind foot, the other side with the intact ear and a better view of the scales on the tail. What is the surrounding habitat like?

Rattus rattus
