Strange rats invade Kyrgyz region
BISHKEK. Sept 20 (Interfax) - An unusual breed of rats is inflicting damage on Kyrgyzstan's Dzhalal-Abad region.

The rats "are killing numerous farm birds, are damaging grape and corn crops, and have destroyed 14 hectares of grain in one of the districts. These rats can climb trees and are destroying apples, pears and other fruit. The rat invasion may also give rise to different epidemics," parliament member Dooronbek Sadyrbayev told Interfax.

The rats frequently attack people and young children are especially vulnerable.

Sanitary services are unable to deal with the situation. "The enormous amount of rats cannot be estimated," he said. The rats are not susceptible to typical poisons.



An Uzbek specialist bred the species by crossing an ordinary rat with a muskrat, he said.

The parliament members asked the government to resolve the problem.

Damn, that's fscked up.

Why does it seem that breeding similar yet different species creates super species? :Q

like Africanized honeybees...

How long until some crazy scientist in India or something crosses a human with an ape?

They already did that, how else do you think Catholics came into being?

Catholics are like those rats: Highly destructive rats, who just don't want to die.

This topic was right above another topic that made for a funny combo:

True muskrats are native to North America. And are very similar to a beaver in habit and habitat. The tails aren't flat like a beaver but you might mistake it for a beaver. We have them all over the place here.
