50. This Rat Catcher is Seriously Happy
You may have seen a mouse scurrying around your house before and been absolutely petrified, but what about a rat? As you can see in this picture, a rat can be the length of your arm, and they are pretty ferocious. Imagine if your job was to crawl down into a city’s underground and get rid of as many rats as possible. Rat catcher used to be a real job before modern pest control. Back in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many large cities employed rat catchers to dispose of these beady-eyed beasts before they could spread illnesses to the entire population. This particular rat catcher seems quite satisfied with a job well done.
