Rats in New York City
They scurry around the pipes inside the walls...
...and crawl beneath the city streets inside the sewers.
Rats consume approximately 250 tons of food a day, which seems like an absurd number...
...but since 8 pups are in each litter, and each female rat has 2 - 3 litters a year, you can only imagine how many rats need to be fed...
...experts say that for every human in New York City, there is one rat.
Humans and rats have never gotten along, in 1997, 184 people reported getting bit by a rat....
...no wonder so many people are scared of them.
