One Pair of Rats Could Produce Vast Descendants
Extension entomologist Harold Gunderson of Iowa State College notes one rat pair could yield 1500 descendants in a year and 350 million in three years if all survive. He says the average rat lives about 18 months and the world rat population may exceed the human total of about 2.73 billion. Also warned to avoid steep banks with tractors to prevent overturns.
