For as long as human civilization has flourished, the brown rat has lived in the shadows, an unwelcome partner thriving in the underbelly of our cities. The ubiquitous rodent is one of the most familiar creatures on the planet - but perhaps the least understood.  Rat City dives down the rathole to uncover remarkable superpowers that make brown rats the evolutionary heroes of the animal kingdom. They're escape artists, problem solvers and master contortionists: supremely equipped to infiltrate our world.  In the chaotic boulevards, back alleys and subterranean byways of the urban jungle, Rat City infiltrates these secret spaces, chronicling the rats' evolutionary superpowers that allow them to thrive. Original air date: January 13, 2023.
