I lived in Paris, Berlin, Tokyo. Never saw any rat where humans would go. I think I spot mice in Paris in the streets once.

- tzs 7y agoThey are pretty good at avoiding being seen, but they are around. Paris has more rats than humans, and Berlin has about 2/3 as many rats as humans. I haven't need good estimates for Tokyo's rat population, but there are about 5000 reports of human encounters a year (down from 20k/year in 2001).

What do you mean reports of human encounters? I was in Tokyo a few weeks ago, and I saw some rats. I didn't report it, because who gives a shit if you see a rat in a city? I've seen rats in every city I've ever been in.
- simonsarris 7y agoReally? I lived in Paris for a month and saw the "dératisation", and the rats. A park was so infested they had to close it temporarily.
- lostlogin 7y agoParis is literally crawling with them. Every park we went to last year had them in bushes, under seats and climbing on peoples possessions as we watched. I biked quite a few km while there and saw them all over the central area.
