Giant rats infested parts of Brooklyn New York. Apparently someone who had a Gambian pouched rat as a pet but it made its way into the wild where it reproduced. Ana Kasparian, Jayar Jayar Jackson and Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks discuss.

  • it would make one hell of a story if there was a infestation of huge rats

  • @Molhedim lawl. that or kobold You no take candle!

  • that's not a rat....that's a Skritt from Guild Wars 2......learn your stuff bro.

  • Are you crazy Cenk? Raccoon are not only carriers of diseases like Leptospirosis and Rabies, but they're vicious. Raccoons aren't afraid of people, and some of them get huge. They're smart, and have opposable thumbs, meaning that they're capable of grabbing and manipulating small objects, like a stick, or your finger, which they can then break.

  • looks more like a rabbit

  • Giant rats in Brooklyn? This is news? There have been giant rats in NYC since the beginning of the 1900's and earlier. Hellooo..

  • @Zeroes123 Cenk Uygur is.

  • Wait are they Turkish?

  • we either need bigger rat trapps or braver cats

  • that not a "Gambian pouch or whatever" -its a brown (NYC) Rat.
