Massive rat ‘almost the size of a small cat' found inside home
A gargantuan rat that measured a whopping 22 inches was found inside a residence in London, England. Eston Ward Councillors David Taylor and Stephen Martin posted about the alarming discovery made in a North Yorkshire neighbourhood — along with a photo of the enormous rodent that resembled the creatures Westley and Buttercup encounter in the Fire Swamp in The Princess Bride. In the July 28 post titled, 'Shocking Size — And A Growing Problem,' the councillors wrote: 'This massive rat over 22 inches long from nose to tail was found inside a local home this weekend.' They continued: 'It's almost the size of a small cat. And it's not a one-off.' The men shared a photo provided by the homeowner of the colossal creature in a clear, plastic bag after pest control made the jaw-dropping discovery. They went on to list how 'rats are being spotted more and more' in the area, but this may be the first time a rodent of this size was found inside a home. 'The longer this is ignored, the worse it will get,' they concluded. 'We need action — not just advice.' In an Aug. 3 follow-up, they noted that this is not the first time their area has experienced a rodent problem, noting that effective actions were taken 'two years' ago. However, 'now, the rats are back, and in even greater numbers,' they wrote. RECOMMENDED VIDEO They also shared a photo of 'rat holes' found at one home, as a fairly large dog curiously hovered over them. In another update, Taylor and Martin noted their hopes of something being done as their community's rodent problem has gone viral.

Fire at a Mass. home started inside a snake enclosure in a bedroom
Whitman firefighters knocked down a fire that started inside a snake enclosure at a two-story house Sunday night, the Whitman Fire Department said. At around 10:45 p.m., the town's fire department learned of a house fire at 12 Morgan Road on the second floor, the department said in a statement. The people living in the home evacuated the building before firefighters arrived, and told firefighters that the fire began in the second-floor bedroom, fire officials said. Firefighters lined up at the front door of the second floor and found a small fire inside a pet snake enclosure, the department stated. They knocked out the flames, which had not spread to other rooms in the house. The snake, a python, was not hurt in the fire and was removed from the home by Whitman firefighters, the department said. Firefighters gave the snake to its owners. By 1 a.m., firefighters cleared out. 'We're glad that no one was hurt as a result of this fire, including the pet snake,' Whitman Fire Chief Timothy Clancy said in the statement. 'We were able to quickly put out the flames before they spread elsewhere throughout the house, preventing further damage to the property, which is always good news.' An initial investigation by Whitman fire officials and Massachusetts State Police determined that the people who lived there were home when they smelled smoke and found the fire, the statement read. One person tried to knock out the flames with a fire extinguisher before closing the bedroom door and leaving with the other people, the department stated. No one was hurt during the fire. Inspectors found that the home also had working smoke detectors.
