Distribution and Habitat
Bush rats first arrived in Australia in the second wave of rodent migration, around two million years ago.
The bush rat is found primarily in the coastal regions of southwestern Australia. While it is mainly found in the lowlands, the bush rat can also be found in parts of the Australian Alps and on some offshore islands.
The bush rat is primarily a burrower, the burrow leads down into the nest chamber and is lined with grass and other vegetation.

Famous quotes containing the words distribution and/or habitat:
“There is the illusion of time, which is very deep; who has disposed of it? Mor come to the conviction that what seems the succession of thought is only the distribution of wholes into causal series.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Neither moral relations nor the moral law can swing in vacuo. Their only habitat can be a mind which feels them; and no world composed of merely physical facts can possibly be a world to which ethical propositions apply.”
