It's fascinating how the rat was called mus in Latin and Old English (yes, the word mouse came from Old English), ræt in late Old English, and rattus in Medieval Latin. Do you think so?
They're in plymouth because me and my daughter just saw one in my garden . So pretty I had to look it up as looked like a fancy rat . Been trying to catch it in a humane cage but its too smart 🤓
@@chelenac.1211 I love rats too. I miss my two ratty girls who passed away 3 years ago (fancy rats of course). There's an American man here on CZcams who breeds black rats as pets. Unlike here in the UK America has plenty of rattus rattus. They call them roof rats there. And black rats did not spread the plague in the middle ages- it's a lie! Their numbers were very small at this time and nobody mentioned lots of dead rats which surely they would've noticed! The plague was spread by the human flea and body lice- most people were crawling with fleas and lice then.
@@mabel8179I’m American, and I can confirm that there’s lots of black rats here in the States. They must have come over here in 1620 with the pilgrims.
@@chelenac.1211 Those "dummy heads" as you call them will teach you just how many diseases these "pretty" creatures inflicted on humans throughout history. There was nothing pretty about the Bubonic Plague.
*Is this the Rattus Norvegicus, by any chance? 😀 I was brought here after listening to the Stranglers album "Rattus Norvegicus" which I was told means "black rat" in Latin. 😅*
The last true black rat colony in the British Isles is on sark in the Channel Islands. Proof has shown that other supposed clusters have mostly brown rat genes. Currently a company from the UK is proposing to eradicate the rat population from Sark, to compensate for them building a wind farm at hornsea in Yorkshire. There is strong local opposition to this plan
@@dmitrimikrioukov5935 Don't be silly. That's like saying a wild deer can be as dangerous as a wild tiger. Infected fleas seek out rats as their main prey
@@xianseah4847 hmmmm.... I don't think Medieval Humans had Rat Pets. But I think I remember it was more like Bacteria or Virus that did on fleas then the rats and ETC....

Well, cute until they bring the Bubonic Plague into your family anyway.
@@TonyEnglandUK any wild animal can bring dangerous infections. I am not talking about domesticated ones, of course.
