Penelope Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Is this the scientist that believes rats will grow to the size of sheep. It would give Kate Fumble something else to play with. Edited March 28, 2014 by Penelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdfish Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 The pictures suggest some kind of genetic mutation...... But that's enough about his kids, the rats massive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) It's not that big, much is down to picture perspective, and I have some of those traps so I have an idea of the rat size. There are always the odd big ones that crop up, but nothing particularly exceptional about that, but not small though! Those traps are 5.5" long, with some very quick/crude extrapolation that makes the overall rat length 18-20". We have competitions every year for the biggest rat which must be supported by picture and scale, you don't even get an entry unless it is 20"PLUS!

We have competitions every year for the biggest rat which must be supported by picture and scale, you don't even get an entry unless it is 20"PLUS! I too have witnessed some pretty big rats! When in the pest control game and you speak to someone on site, you often get "Speak to Bob on the shop floor he saw it... it was THHHiIIIIISSSSS Big" (HOlding out hands about a foot apart) next you speak to someone else who says "Oh i saw it, a dark as night, teeth as long as sharks and it was THIIISS big!!!" (Holding out hands the size of a fox). But to then catch some rats and one being a huge one is quite amusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
