Recently, there was a gruesome incident in the UK where a professional rat trap actually captured a giant rat bigger than a dog!
It has been learned that this "alien" rat is 22 inches long and is the length of a Chihuahua! What is going on? Could it be that such a "giant rat" has appeared on the streets of Britain now?
It is understood that the rat catcher's name is Kieran Sampler, 29 years old this year, from Wakefield, England,
Not only that, but Kieran has also found that today's rats are becoming more and more "bold", and they don't care much about humans or other animals. This may be related to reduced food waste and pest control on the streets. The rats ate more high-quality food, and their bodies continued to grow, and this "giant rat" appeared.
It is reported that in Cambodia, people also use the sensitive sense of smell of rats to detect landmines. It can be seen that these "little guys" are indeed very powerful in some aspects. However, if a rat does appear larger than a dog, I am afraid that many people will be frightened.
It's really creepy. However, the fact is that this "giant rat" is not unique. Back in 2016, there were reports of the appearance of an 18-inch-long giant rat somewhere in the UK, which had already attracted widespread attention at the time. It seems that this "monster rat", which is getting bigger and bolder, has become a trend.
According to expert analysis, this may be related to some of our human behaviors. For example, a lot of food is wasted, so that the rats can eat more nutrients. Coupled with environmental pollution, climate change and other factors, it may also promote the growth of mice.
In the face of such giant rats, we cannot take it lightly. As pests, rats can pose a number of health hazards that require great attention. We need to take more effective prevention and control measures, not only to curb their proliferation, but also to avoid the emergence of such "uncontrolled" monster rats.
