starts withThe Mexican cotton rat is endemic to Mexico and is distributed along the western coast of the country. This area is located in the tropical deciduous forest biome, and the Mexican cotton rat prefers to reside in the open, grassy areas with dense areas of ground-level vegetation and little to no trees. However, these rats will occupy a variety of habitats when their populations grow in size. The Mexican cotton rat coexists cooperatively with other similar rodents in the ecosystem.
