Since New York City's rat population is forever on the rise, you may want to take a couple of minutes and watch this video below.
Ever hear a story of a rat crawling up and out your buddy's toilet on the Lower East Side and wonder, "How the hell is that possible?" Or even worse, has it actually happened to you?
If so, we feel for ya. (No, really we do.)
Watch this video below by National Geographic, which shows just how easily a rat can do it. As the video states:
"A rat's ribs are hinged at the spine, enabling it to easily squeeze through the tightest spaces— like the pipes draining your toilet.
And rats are great swimmers too; they can hold their breath for up to three minutes. See how quickly a rat can go from the city streets to your bathroom."
