These rats typically have a longer tail in proportion to their body length than Wistars. They were involved in the [[wikipedia:Séralini_affair|Séralini affair]], where the herbicide [[wikipedia:RoundUp|RoundUp]] was claimed to increase the occurrence of tumor in these rats. However, since these rats are known to grow tumors at a high (and very variable) rate, the study was considered flawed in design and its findings unsubstantiated. | These rats typically have a longer tail in proportion to their body length than Wistars.
