General Information

The riparian woodrat (Neotoma fuscipes riparia), also known as the San Joaquin woodrat, is a medium sized rodent in the Cricetidae family. It is one of eleven subspecies of dusky-footed woodrats (N. fuscipes). Dusky-footed woodrats are predominantly gray and cinnamon above and whitish beneath. Their tails are well furred, not scaly like those of common nonnative black rats (Rattus rattus), which are in a completely different family, Muridae. Adult riparian woodrats weigh from about 7 to 14 ounces. The riparian woodrat can be distinguished from other subspecies by having white rather than dusky hind feet. It is also larger, lighter and more grayish. Its tail is more distinctly bicolored.
