Rat Simulator King Of Humans
Probably not if you compare it with the Bosavi woolly rat, a species discovered in 2009. Believed to be the biggest rat, it is more than 32 inches (81 cm) long (including the tail) and weighs more than three pounds (1.36 kg). By comparison, the common house rat is about 20 inches (50 cm) long and weighs approximately 12 ounces (0.34 kg). The brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), also known as the common rat, street rat, sewer rat, Hanover rat, Norway rat, Norwegian rat, Parisian rat, or wharf rat is one of the best known and most common rats. One of the largest muroids, it is a brown or grey rodent with a head and body length of up to 28 cm (11 in) long, and a tail slightly shorter than that.
There’s a lot of simulators in Steam these days. There’s the really famous ones like Goat Simulator and some that you might not want to know much more about like Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015: Do You Still Shower With Your Dad (click in the link at your own risk). In this whole myriad of less known games, only a few stand out. One of them is Rat Simulator, a game in which you control a (really evil) rat.
Rat Simulator is all fun at the start. You have to eat food and destroy objects in the house to go forward in the game. When you reach a certain number of food eaten and objects destroyed, you get the next objective: to go to another part of the house and then eat and destroy some more stuff, but that’s not the fun part. The coolest thing about the game is how ridiculous everything is. You can grab small objects and throw them (even you being, you know, a rat), you can jump more than 10 times the height of your little mouse body and you can throw poison rays at humans to knock them out. This game makes you feel like a really empowered rat.
Not everything is good like cheese in Rat Simulator, though. The controls are pretty clunky and somewhat annoying and there’s a big issue with saving at the start. The save game issue almost ruins the game and will surely make less persistent people refund the game right away. There are no checkpoints in Rat Simulator, so when you die, you have to restart the game at your last save… but there are no save points in the house. You can only save the game inside the dumpster outside the house, but to even get to know that you have to play for a while and redo a lot of “eat 3 apples” objectives. It sucks.
The dumpster works like some kind of rat base. There, you can buy upgrades with Loyalty Points you get from missions and get the plague to infest the houses. The ultimate objective from the game is to infest all the nine houses from the neighborhood and save your rat companions that are stuck inside of them. Then, you’ll be crowned king of the rats and there will be 10 minutes of cutscenes (just kidding, there’s no story in this game).
In the end, Rat Simulator is a fun game, even if it’s clunky and very repetitive. If you don’t give up before you leave the first house, there’s plenty of fun to be had shooting humans with poison rays and then hiding while wreck their house.

Both snakes were estimated to be between 6 and 7 feet long, according to The Charlotte Observer.
Carolina Waterfowl Rescue, a nonprofit animal rescue agency, posted a video of the rarely-seen fight Tuesday on Facebook.
“Two male rat snakes are having a wrestling match to determine who gets the female. It's funny that even their territorial battles are harmless,” the video's caption reads.
According to the Observer, the fight went on for several minutes, but neither snake was injured. Staff at the rescue agency said they believe the snakes met as they followed the pheromones released by a female. Play family farm.
“The video is awesome and we were lucky to get it,” Keenan Scott Freitas, a reptile rehabilitator at Carolina Waterfowl Rescue, told the newspaper.
“You don’t get to see that in the wild too often. I was shocked and amazed at the same time by it. It’s usually the type of thing you only see on National Geographic” Freitas added. “That’s because they are terrified of humans and usually flee when they see one. They don’t stick around and continue to fight.”
Rat snakes are non-venomous and typically found in fields and woodlands across the country, including Connecticut, the Carolinas, Kansas and Oklahoma, per the National Wildlife Federation.

“Black rat snakes are excellent swimmers and climbers. They will use these skills to catch a variety of food, from bird eggs to frogs,” the federal agency says online. “They are the snake most likely to be seen around buildings hunting for rodents, amphibians, and young birds. Black rat snakes are constrictor snakes and will use their body to suffocate their prey.”
