Not this one. It's native.
The SOS is getting old. How about a picture thread?

Has it got hair on its tail or is it bare?
Edit: if its tail is hairy it could be an Allegheny woodrat.

Nice, packrat. I had to look it up. They’re a threatened species.

I released it well away from my shop which has been destroyed in the last couple months. This rascal was one of the most mischievous sobs I have ever dealt with! Everything thrown off shelves and piles of miscellaneous whatnots all over the floor and workbench.. It'll take me a week to get it cleaned up!

@barney will back me up on what a Mess they can make and how Fast they can do it.
I Didn't see the thread till now but I recognized it as a Packrat. @skruske and I were prairie dog shooting in Montana a few years ago and had parked his truck out on the prairie. 2 days later he raised the hood and there was nearly a 5 gallon bucket of "Stuff" on top of the battery. Out jumped the Packrat and the rat Population was immediately reduced by 1 , as he smashed it with his Fist. Only one I ever saw.

Absolutely they can make a mess! I thought maybe a squirrel had gotten into my shop as I briefly went in for various reasons over the last month and the mess was a once and done deal. Wrong, the mess kept getting bigger and bigger with piles of stuff everywhere.🧐

I saw this yesterday between Columbia and Campbellsville and thought it looked pretty cool. I saw there is a sign in the Yard advertising who ever did the mowing.
Some y'all probably have seen it.
