The photo on this “giant rat” article is straight out of a 1950s sci-fi film – the only 5 reactions you need
A recent Liverpool Echo article reported on very large rats apparently terrorising the residents of the Litherland area of Liverpool.
One man described a rat he’d seen as being so big he’d initially mistaken it for a rabbit, and that’s what led to this extraordinary take from the New York Post.

The journalist who’d written the original piece, Kate Lally, was as amused by the bizarre image as you’d expect.

This is not photo shopped. Ratzilla is real. Ratzilla is dangerous. May God have mercy on our souls. https://t.co/BTqHvqVNDU
