Rats! In cities all around the world you’ll find them scurrying through sewers or along alleyways, but they spend much of their lives hidden from sight. How much do we really know about our urban neighbours? What is fact and what is fiction? Join Dr. Kaylee Byers, a wildlife health scientist and rat detective as she shares some of the science about city rats. She’ll explore why it’s important (but challenging!) for scientists to study rats, how to spot them in your city, and what you can do to help create healthy spaces for people and wildlife.
