This latest specimen is even bigger than the Dorset mega-rat of 2018 – and just one sign of a problem that keeps growing ...
Name: The Giant Rat of Normanby.
Age: Unknown, but probably not more than three years old, given the lifespan of a rat.
Appearance: Enormous!
A giant rat! Where? Keep it away from me! Don’t worry, it’s deceased. The 22in colossus was found by a pest controller in a home in Normanby, North Yorkshire.
