- fsckboy 2y agoa city rat mom can have 6 litters a year of 7 rats each, life expectancy < 2 years... so in theory, seasonality of food would have little effect on annual rat population. in practice, this is born out because NYC is very cold in winter, and it is swarming with rats. (og ja, nordmenn, dere kan takke meg for at jeg kaller det en byrotte)
