Marilyn's Photos - Apr 13 2026 - That Big Rat on board
The massive rat seems to be staying with me - one of the headlines from a few days ago. It was on a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Aruba before Christmas 2025. There are curtain rails in a KLM Airbus A330 and people saw it running along the top and into overhead storage units while over the Atlantic Ocean. It was caught on video HERE. A rat is a rat. I don't think it looked massive, but then what is a headline for?
And can a rat compete with bringing on peacocks as pets, birds of prey (they have their own passports in the UAE), with one flight having 20 birds (in 2017).
Here's a good news weird story. On one flight, Pope Francis married two engaged flight attendants after they told him an earthquake had destroyed the church that they'd planned to marry in. That's a very sweet story.
Here's the opposite - an overhead locker overflowing with maggots when a passenger in 2010 from Atlanta brought some spoiled meat on board. Or what about a scorpion on board a U.S. flight in 2015 - it was spotted after it stung a passenger.
And how big can a rat get? The biggest rat in the world is the Bosavi woolly rat from Papua New Guinea - up to 32 inches long and 3.5 pounds. The pictures shown are pets - complete with collars and leads.
And don't confuse that massive rat with a Ram Air Turbine or RAT - which is commonly up to 64 inches in diameter. Part of an airplane.
We got this picture of Millie when we were visiting friends last weekend. She spotted something on the table in the centrepiece and was beserk over it. Here it is turned into a Birthday Greeting (of sorts).
