‘Rat Man’ Puts His Talented Pets Through Their Paces in Lima

The “rat-man”, Miguel Angel Silva, has become a bit of a local celebrity in Lima, thanks to his unusual choice of unusually talented pets.

Lima local Dorely Eddit Calua Salvador saw him in action with some of his highly trained rodents recently at a shopping mall in the city, and paused to record some of the rats’ impressive feats of gymnastics and coordination.

Salvador originally posted the clip to TikTok, where she joked that Silva reminder her of “juggling my ex”.

Silva’s companionship with the rats began years ago, when he saved one from his friend who’d wanted to kill it, a media profile of him said. Credit: Dorely Eddit Calua Salvador via Storyful
