That's a pretty big rodent!

We have rats here, Norway rats I assume, but I've only ever seen one (in our barn). Mice are a big problem. I did have some car damage from one a couple years ago in an unattached garage -- made a nest in the air filter, and only wrecked the filter but if I hadn't found it the engine would have taken in a bunch of debris.

Relatedly, it is great fun to watch hawks and owls (barred owls; they hunt during the day) catch rodents and rabbits in the yard. Rabbits and especially squirrels are hard on human stuff, too.

Neat video.
