The damage caused by rats is so severe that it can be seen from outer space

In nature, not only rabbits are able to spawn like that. Mice, if there is a chance of favorable development, will also be able to produce a lot.

In a warm winter, dry spring and early summer in Friesland in the Netherlands have created the right conditions for this rodent to proliferate - making them an epidemic - making the fields Green is becoming barren and lifeless. Even the damage is so severe that it can be seen with photos from the Groen Monitor satellite, run by Wageningen University.

The grass was heavily damaged by rats.

Circled areas are the first places where damage is recorded.

It looks a bit like a drought, but it's actually a "disease".

Not only influencing the agricultural industry, if not controlling them, it can lead to heavily affected cheese industry.

Mice used to be a terror in the past, but now Dutch farmers have taken measures to fill it. In the Netherlands, there is usually a lot of water in the canals that is not used for any purpose - and the water level is also higher than the land here, making it easier to leave small puddles at the time of removal. Farmers will pump water from these canals into the field, killing new babies. But for adult mice, this is not a problem - they can completely crawl out of the hole and run quickly to the ground.

However, after escaping from this sudden increase in water level, the mouse must avoid a high-level enemy - voracious seagulls. When the house is destroyed and the environment is full of bloodthirsty birds like this, the opportunity to live is almost impossible.

Like rats, this is also a favorable condition for gulls to be full.

For some reason, not all fields are fed with water - this creates a clear contrast between healthy green areas, where rats are controlled, and brown fields but still suffering from this "disease".

There are still areas where water is not allowed.

A clear contrast.
