: MediaTakeOut.com got ahold of a pic of a GIANT RAT . . . found inside the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn. Here's how our pals at the NY Daily News are reporting it:

And Rivera, 48, says it's not the only one. He insists that while he was filling a rat hole last week, three came running out - but he was only able to nail one.

"I hit it one time and it was still moving," Rivera said. "I hit it another time and that's when it died. I'm not scared of rats but I was scared of being bitten."

Naomi Colon, head of the Marcy Houses Tenant Association, said there have been sightings of the outsize rat for at least six years.

"The residents have told me that they've seen it running around with other rats. She lived with them. She ran into the same hole they ran in."

Animal experts who viewed the picture identified the animal as a Gambian pouched rat, which is a fairly common pet rat.

YUCK!!

christie_love

Wow,That man is so brave! Just looking at the pic alone gives me the creeps! I hate rodents.


NCGAL4LIFE

to anyone clowing the dirty south...what type of life is it to have when u flossing in a project with cat-sized rats to worry about ...that most certainly is a downside...I don't think anything is positive about worrying about rats that carry diseases co-habitating with me-Sidenote::natural disasters can hit anywhere ...that's why nyc is on lock right now; now u can worry about rats and hurricanes today!


tutti1331

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP


NCGAL4LIFE

anyone can afford to live up north if you living in the projects...trying to front like ur no vehicle owning; section 8 *** is doing big things during a dam* recession...living in a city...any city with big a** rats is a downside...there is nothing positive about co-habitating with mutant size rats carrying diseases ... sidenote: hurricanes are natural disasters that can hit anywhere...that's y today ..ur a** is not only worried about living in the projects with ur pet rats but also about the hurricane coming ur way...no public transport for ur clown a** today!


Meltz

"That rat is too big to be staying there free and not paying rent."

like a mf

thats where Shawn Carter came from..Maybe he'll donate some of that dirty $$ to the projects because they obviously need some extreme, swat team pest control type ish goin on in dar joint! I wouldve died from a heart attack just seein that think in my bathrm.


brooklynbrowngal

*** what was he eating in the pj's takeout food everyday, WTF i really thought it was a big *** cat
