‘Giant Rat’ Found in Drain Under Mexico City
CBS17 ^ | Sep 21, 2020 | Salvador Rivera

Posted on 09/21/2020 5:20:22 PM PDT by nickcarraway

As crews were cleaning 22 tons of trash from Mexico City’s drainage system, they came across what is being described as a “giant rat.”

The rat, which turned out to be a Halloween prop that was in a warehouse, apparently washed away during storms, somehow disappearing into a labyrinth of drains underground.

People who saw the giant rat could not figure out how it squeezed through a drain in the first place due to its size but everyone marveled at how much it looked like a real rodent.

Some even said if they had seen it on a street, they would’ve run away in fear.

One woman named Evelin López admitted it was hers, all part of materials she had collected for Halloween, but that it washed away years ago during storms.

López said she had asked for assistance to search the drain many times but no one ever came to help.

She wasn’t sure what she was going to do with her prop or whether she planned to keep it.

We have 5’ 5”, 350 pound rats all over in the US. They are usually found in mostly peaceful demonstrations.

That's not surprising. There's giant rats down there.

If it had been spotted down there by a cartel thug, he'd have probably emptied his AK into and ran the other direction screaming, "Rata gigante!!!!AAAAIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!" LMAO

One of the funniest things on television was an episode of Hill Street Blues.

The police were getting calls about alligators in the sewer.

Two of the police find this stuffed alligator and put it on its belly on a skateboard and tied a string to it.

Two detectives are ordered to go into the sewer.

The first two police refuse to go down the sewer.

The two detectives make fun of the first two police and head down the sewer.

The first two policeman pull the string on the stuffed alligator.

You just hear screams and see gunflashes.

I laughed so hard I fell off the couch.

#15. If a cartel member shot the giant rat, he would do a “Free Ratta Sandwiches” party for the poor. Hattip to Sylvester Stallone in ‘Demolition Man’.
