Now, this is something we (thankfully) don’t see every day!
A gigantic rat was discovered in a children’s play area on a housing estate in East London. Gas engineer Tony Smith spotted the monster rat while working near Hackney Downs, and described the rodent as “the largest rat I’ve ever seen in my entire life.”
Smith told the standard.co.uk:
“We were going to stick it in the bin, but before we did we thought we better take a picture because people won’t believe it’s real.”
The rat was found dead and pest controllers believed it to be a cane rat, a type of giant rodent normally found in Africa.
“I’ve got a cat and a Jack Russell and it was bigger than both of those put together,” Smith said.
People have reacted to the image with a mixture of “glee and disgust.”
Have you ever seen a rat this large in your life?
