Tony Smith, a gas engineer saw the gigantic rat in a bush at a playground in London near Hackney Downs, north London.
It weighs approximately 25 pounds, and was already dead when founded.
A normal adult rat grows 9 to 11 inches, including a tail that could reach up to 7 to 9 inches.
Smith then asked his friend to hold the rat and take a picture of it for documentation. He even mentioned “This is the largest rat I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I’ve got a cat and a Jack Russell and it was bigger than both of those put together”
Smith concluded that this might not be the last one of its species, more are expected because these creatures are said to still roam the areas, looking for food
