Crews find a giant rat prop in Mexico City’s drainage system

Crews in Mexico City made a bizarre discover while cleaning out the city’s drainage system recently.

As the crews were cleaning 22 tons of trash from the system, they came across what has been described as a “giant rat” the size of a person.

While this “giant rat,” thankfully, only turned out to be a Halloween prop, many people have commented on how realistic it looks.

According to Border Report, a woman named Evelin López has since come forward to claim the rat prop as her own.

López said the “giant rat” had been part of the materials she was gathering for Halloween, but the prop washed away several years ago during storms.

López said she had asked for help in searching the drains for the prop but no one ever came out to assist her.

Lopez also said that, now that her rat prop has been found, she isn’t sure if she’s keeping it or not.
