We call them Possums here in the South.

But! On a sightly more seriously note, I have to ask.

Given the massive numbers of boated in illegals that London now houses.

How could a rat get that big w/o being eaten?
☺

Perhaps the big ones *are* being eaten and these are just the runts.

#3 Oh, third world problems.

The larger ones go into a breeding program with an emphasis on size and taste for fresh meat.

#10 National Invasive Species Awareness Week ... is here to remind us that some of the biggest ecological nightmares are critters that don’t belong here.

Critters wander around all the time. The fundamental problem with invasive species is that no one is eating them.

Wait, when you say 'invasive species', do you mean migrants?
