Why Cities Can’t Get Rid Of Rats
They're extremely patient when it comes to new foods. They'll taste just a tiny portion at first, wait to see if that food makes them sick, and only if it doesn't will they consume the rest. This is called delayed learning, and it's why rats are notoriously difficult to poison.
