- A rat's ribs are hinged at the spine, enabling it to easily squeeze through the tightest spaces-like the pipes draining your toilet. And rats are great swimmers too; they can hold their breath for up to three minutes. See how quickly a rat can go from the city streets to your bathroom.

Watching this on the toilet is not a great experience.
WolfeSpeider true
ikr I was on the toilet and when I saw this thumbnail, I jumped up and ran away
Haha same here...
WolfeSpeider it would be worse if you were watching the spider version
WolfeSpeider DUN DUN DUUUUUNNNN
Imagine swimming through tight, claustrophobic passages, underwater, only to finally make it to the surface and realise you've been swimming in a toilet.
i think rats can actually be claustrophobic
I don't think rats knows what toilets are.
And have a big person usually trying to kill or drown u. Poor little animal 🐭 just trying to survive and most people just want Gods creations dead in the meanest ways Rats can do tricks better than dogs (see shadow the rat) and are nice little animals.

This happened in a third floor apartment I was living in around 2005. It started with seeing turds and chewed plant leaves in my bathroom. Then one night on my way into the kitchen, walking past the bathroom I saw a large rat jump from the side of the bathtub into the toilet bowl and then disappear. I couldn't believe what I'd just witnessed. I set up a rat trap with peanut butter and kept the bathroom door closed. Within about a week, I opened that door to a large puddle of blood and a dead 12" long rat on the bathroom floor. I learned to take super fast deuces in the few months I was there before moving to a new place.
today I went into my bathroom and there was a squirrel. I knew it came through the toilet because there was a bunch of dirt in the toilet, as soon as I saw it I shut the door back and called my landlord. I was freaking out and I'm happy I'm not the type to leave doors open.

Do you eat that much pepper ? Even ice cream and milk pepper ? Then it is clear why you do not have rats to survive... We had a lot of them at the mine.. They gnawed everything, Newspapers, skin, remnants of life, their broods... There were no mice in the mine where there were rats and woodlice. And at the other mine where I worked there were mice and cockroaches. I don't know how the automatic translator will translate.
Lmao
The fact that rats can freak people out is creepy yes, but I AM impressed at how they're able to swim the way they do, as well as how they can fit through confined spaces. I never knew that their ribs were able to collapse due to them being being hinged to their spines, and this is just another interesting fact about rats in this world.
The scene with the rats swimming is adorable

I've seen it happen. I was renting out a basement with a small toilet attached to it. I wasn't living there, just using the place as storage space. I used to put a brick on top the lid because I was afraid sth like that could happen and guess what? The rat ate through the plastic toilet lid!
Bro…….

@@ProfessorBiceps not the part where it was swimming up the toilet, the part when they were paddling above water ☺️
@@DanielC- got you, just joking. I find them swimming cute too
After all these years i finally know what the inside of a toilet looks like :D
Alexandra Farinha Who won't be thinking the same thing?! That's why I watched this video
+TheGoldenEagleEye That's not how real toilets are on the inside.
Large turds will get stuck on that one.
KINGCALLO FUCK YEAH!
David Robertson Incorrect.
The design depicted on the video is doomed to clog with solid feces.
Real flush toilets have larger siphons and the sealing water doesn't remain that high unless clogged.
It's not about wether or not rats can climb through toilets, *it's about **_toilet_** facts*.
+Maria Donatello
That kind of toilet is obsolete.
Jet flush toilets are the standard for a couple decades now. In those, the tank valve is way before the sewage pipe. A siphon holds a certain amount of water to act as seal.
XD i died when the rats started swimming
Lol 😂
Exzaviour Alexzander did you see the one that pooped while swimming?
I died too when the rats started swimming. Derpiness overload!

i couldnt have been the only one laughing when it showed the rats treading with the music playing in the background lmao they just looked so funny
Happened to me when I was 5 or so, in kindergarten. That day other kids talked about snakes. I had heard about snakes in toilets before so when I went to the bathroom and heard something splattering inside the toilet, I immedately flushed. Well, a rat jumped out and ran towards the door. All I remember was screaming my lungs out and being traumatized for a long time. Couldn't use toilet alone for a while too. But hey, at least I have an anecdote to randomly tell!
Great now i am scared to take a shit
diapers?
