Water Rats was an Australian police action/drama show, set on and around Goat Island, in the Sydney Harbour. The show went through the highs and lows of the men and women who worked at the Sydney Water Police. It originally starred Colin Friels and Catherine McClements, who made the show a big hit. By the end of the show in 2001 Steve Bisley, Aaron Pedersen and Dee Smart were the shows main stars.

Examples include the North American pack rats, a number of species loosely called kangaroo rats, and others.ats such as the bandicoot rat (Bandicota bengalensis) are murine rodents related to true rats, but are not members of the genus Rattus.
