It ’s lovely , and that definitely should have send off up warning signs that something was n’t correct . This is 2018 we ’re speak about , where everything you love in life turn out to be terrible .

We have spoilt news .
lease ’s start gently . First off , it ’s not a rat . The fact that shower rat has no tail is a monolithic hint , as well as the fact that it was filmed in Peru .

The way the animal is endure also fit with a pacarana , a aboriginal rodent of South America .
Now for the intemperate fleck – it ’s also probably not enjoying a shower . It ’s most likely hear to get an thorn off its body , whether it ’s liquid ecstasy or something else .

" My guess is that someone soaped up that blackleg , " Associate Professor Jason Munshi - Southtold Gizmodo . wretched small thing .
Gizmodo asked Aivelo if the rat was in pain .
" It ’s totally possible , " he replied , because 2018 is direful .
