Initial experiments were conducted to determine the effect of coat color on behavior. “Wild” brown- and white (albino)-coated litter mates from 5 brother-sister bred pairs which were the offsprings of albino rats bred with wild dump rats ( Rattus norvegicus) were compared directly on several behavioral measures. No significant differences existed between coat colors for juvenile and adult ambulatory activity, acquisition rates for a lever-pressing task or for weaning and adult body weights. The brown-coated rats extinguished the lever responses more quickly than their white-coated litter mates. Sex differences tended towards significance for the activity measures and were significant for the body weights
