Hello all, welcome to week #3 challenge where we have to draw a RAT.

I took up the challenge and here is what i came up with, i hope it's lovely !!!

---

A rat is a small animal, with a pointed head, shiny eyes, bulky stomach and a long tail. It has fur all over its body.

Rats are found almost everywhere; in homes, offices, schools, storages, e.t.c

I would not lie... Rats freak me out!

I scream whenever i sight one, i just love the fact that they look CUTE.

_{having my plain paper and blue pen ink ready for the challenge}

I have seen different Rats of various species in my enviroment, home and during practicals in both secondary school and in the university. I studied Biology.

_{looks funny right? well, trying to get my sketches right #wink 😉}

About asking if they are important to man, i would say Yes & No.

Yes because it is a pet to some people. Rats have served as human pet as far back history.

And when i say No, mehn, they constitute a whole lot of nuisance. Destroy home items, contaminate edibles and are capable of transfering diseases such as: Hantavirus, Lassa fever, plagues.

They aren't that dangerous to say, but could bite when attacked in defence.

_{ok, i think my rat is gradually becoming ratty...taking shape}

💡Hey, here's a fun fact, i heard they are everywhere in the world except in antartica, reason being that the continent is too cold for rats to survive💡

_{tah-dah...finished work}
