The total numbers mature and immature males individuals ofR. rattus frugivorous were 68 individuals (51.1%) and 2 individuals (1.5%) respectively, while mature and immature females individuals were 56 individuals (42.1%) and 7 individuals (5.3%) respectively at Giza Governorate. In the same time, the total numbers mature and immature males individuals ofR. rattus frugivorous were 65 individuals (42.8%) and 13 individuals (8.6%) respectively, while mature and immature females individuals were 63 individuals (41.4%) and 16 individuals (10.5%) respectively at Beheira Governorate. The total numbers mature and immature males individuals ofR. rattus rattus were 35 individuals (47.3%) and 6 individuals (8.1%) respectively, while mature and immature females individuals were 30 individuals (40.5%) and 7 individuals (4.1%) respectively at Giza Governorate.
