"Aggressive rodent behavior!" That's right folks the CDC has just coughed up this latest freaky fear. This is coming from my local news channel just now. According to the CDC because restaurants have been closed recently rodents are starving and are being more aggressive in their quest for food. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.........................................šŸ­ !!!
 

Not surprising - it's one of the reasons why they say wildlife sightings are up not only in urban areas but also in parks and forest areas. Animals who are accustomed to humans dropping food crumbs and filling garbage cans, are having to forage more widely for food.

Any time a restaurant remodels, you can bet the vermin run next door until all the disturbances end and the food supply starts up again.

I read a story about this in NYC a couple of weeks ago.

They had resorted to cannibalism.

I think rats have always been cannibalistic. I had rats many aeons ago for science class (we didn't do anything awful to them, just watched their behavior) and they quite commonly eat their young. I remember being utterly grossed out and shocked at the tender age of about 12 the first time I saw this happen.

Perhaps this is common to the rodent family. Hamsters are also known to eat their young. I had hamsters growing up, but only one at a time, so experienced no breeding behaviour.

I cannot imagine being 12 and seeing something that barbaric. I'd be shocked, too.

Kids nowdays see stuff a lot more barbaric than that on the news and in movies, indeed, sometimes on the streets. Animals are just animals, and they do what they do.
 
I have yet to meet an aggressive rodent.
Last week, I was in my basement checking plumbing. I was snacking on a Persian cucumber. A huge rat walked up within 5 feet & stood on his hind legs. I handed him the rest of the cucumber & he took it out of my hand & ran away.

Sure you did.
 
Wouldnā€™t ā€œAggressive Rodentsā€ be a great name for a punk rock band? The name ā€œRattā€ is already taken, and they are appearing in a Geico commercial where some renters report a Ratt problem...yes, the group is singing loudly nearby!
