A very interesting report
- Environment Unlimited | Waste and pollution | Super rats!
But is it just scaremongering or a low news day?
Personally I think the squirrel is more "super" than the Rat.

I expect there are getting bigger like we are, they eat what we eat, food full of hormones especially junk food. Steroids in the sewage.
Here in Ipswich we have had roads collapse due to rats tunnelling underneath them. |

There's some truth in it. 'We' are feeding the rats by chucking so much food away, and they do develop resistance to poisons, but it's not really a new story.

It's probably just as well the rats are eating the leftovers. Otherwise we'd be overun by flies instead! Julie
