Giant sized mice are terrorizing the population in Brooklyn.
A construction worker in Brooklyn city, the US accidentally caught a giant mouse 90cm long from head to tail.
The 90cm mouse was destroyed by Rivera.
Jose Rivera, 48, a construction worker working at Brooklyn's Marcy building construction site, recounted: "I hit it once, but it continued to run. I'm not afraid of rats but I'm afraid bitten by it ".
The mouse captured by Mr. Rivera is extremely large and unusual. Its length from head to tail is up to 90cm, its large body looks fat and has white fur.
However, Naomi Colon, the manager of the rental building, Marcy said that she had heard about this unusual sized mouse 6 years ago.
"The people living here told me that they saw it running around with other mice. It lived with those mice. It ran into the same hole that the other animals had run in." Coloness recalls.
But according to analysts, this giant mouse is nothing unusual. It is identified as a Gambia hamster , a popular pet and can be used for mine detection training. This mouse species works at night, can grow up to 90cm long, weighs 1.8kg or more. They can also live for 7-8 years.
Giant mice are terrorizing people in Marcy rental housing
Gambia kangaroos have been banned from being imported into the US since 2003 when they are thought to be responsible for the disease affecting 100 people. And the mouse that was killed by Rivera could be someone's pet that was overthrown or abandoned.
However, the people living in Marcy's estate are still concerned that the rat may mate with the rats around it and produce a super-rodent breed despite the reassurance of the scientists. It is assumed that imported animals will not mate with local animals and even mating can not reproduce because they belong to different genera.
A person living in Marcy said, "there are days, there are 8 large sized mice destroyed" . These mice attacked the children's playground in the area, frightening the children and forcing adults to take their children away.
A resident named Stephanie Davis, 44, said: "Even cats are afraid of rats. They get together and terrorize cats."
Pam Davis, 43, said: " They are raging day and night. We are not avoiding bullets but are avoiding mice. They are too big."
