Do giant rats exist?

/in /by

So do giant rats exist, well, the answer is yes but this is not a new breed of rat. Our urban rats, mainly the Norway rat (brown rat, common rat, street rat, sewer rat, Hanover rat, or Norwegian rat) comes in a range of different sizes. Giant rats are really rats that are at the extreme end of the size spectrum, rather than a new breed of rats. Photos online of giant urban rats are all just an illusion, just like the fish you caught, it’s all a trick of perspective, and you can easily take a photo of rat and make it look gigantic. The internet is loaded with tales of people finding enormous rats in their homes. Rats living in urban areas can have a bottomless pit of food, our food scraps. These rats continue to gain weight as they age, which allows them to reach a higher body mass. Even now, when it’s cold outside, the growth rate of urban rats is still high mainly due to our food waste. The bulk of the food waste in cities is those high in sugars and fats. The colder the weather, the slower food decays and therefore a steady supply of rat food which is available.
