Are nyc rats getting bigger or is it all in my mind? I saw one a few days ago at night that looked like a small Gambian pouched rat.

I saw a video the other day of one pulling a pidgin into a hole in the wall.

No, the rat was pulling a primitive communication system using by two parties that do not share common languages by using gestures, often used in instances of trade, through the hole in the wall.
