Dear, Ayan
Your post made me think of how urban cities have a very large problem of pest outbreaks and the actions health pest control professionals take to reduce the infestation. Also how the rats have been in the cities for a long time that they have adapted to the environment and learned to live with all the harsh things around them. Something I wonder is how people learn to live with the rats, regularly see the rats and be okay with it.
Sincerely,
Lucy

Your post made me think about the wide variety of functions that a rat has. I never realized how adaptable they can be, most creatures stick to one particular environment. It seems that rats can make it almost anywhere and remain a steady population with all of their unique characteristics. I wonder if rats are one of the largest rodent populations in the country, considering their reproduction opportunity and outbreaks.
