They prefer to live where humans are and
are hence found only in ports and large cities. They are
poor climbers, but dig well and may excavate wide-ranging burrow systems. |
They are thought to have originated from northern China, and spread to most parts of the world. Today, they are the most successful mammal on our planet.
