Apocalyptic rat infestation sweeps Queensland’s coastal towns

An astonishing number of rats, some dead and some alive, have swarmed the shores of northern Australia, particularly in Queensland, creating a scene straight out of a horror movie. This spike in the rat population, believed to be induced by the rainy season, has left residents of areas like Karumba and Normanton in a state of alarm and disgust. The wet season, favorable for rodent breeding, coupled with a bountiful harvest attracting rats to the coast, has resulted in a startling rat plague in the region.

Beaches Turn into Rat Graveyards

The sheer number of rats making their way to the beaches has led to a grotesque sight, with heaps of rodents lying dead on the sands. Residents are now engaged in massive cleaning drives to rid the area of the overpowering smell and disturbing presence of these rats. This invasion has not only impacted the aesthetics and hygiene of the beaches but also sparked health concerns among the local population.
