In America, next to the Alaska there is an island named Aleutians island. Many small islands are seen near this Aleutians island. In that a island is named as RAT island, because rats have ruled that island for more than 200 years. Now this has come to an end, because all these rats in the island is killed. The area of the Rat island is around 26 sq.km.
In 1870, a Japanese goods ship had ran aground on the island and got sink in the sea. Some rats in the ship entered the island. since there is no humans lived in the island, only birds like eagle used to live in the island. After some years, the number of rats in the island started to increase rapidly. At first the rats started to eat the eggs of the birds, and then it moved to the kill the birds to eat them up. The rats never let to grow even the trees in the island. Due to this number trees and birds in the island is decreased.
At some stage, it is found that there is no living things other than rats in the island. so, the government decided to kill all these rats in the island. They made many plans to kill the rats completely, but nothing worked for them. Just few months before, they started to spray the poison for 10 days continuously throughout the entire island to kill the rats with the help of helicopter. Due to this the ruling of rats for past 229 years in the island is now reached to an end. Now birds have started to lay eggs in the trees of the island so, the RAT ISLAND is now RAT FREE ISLAND.
