This shocking footage shows a rat with a sapling growing on it’s back

This shocking footage shows a live rat with a sapling soya plant growing through it’s body. Experts are baffled by the freak occurrence, but have speculated that a soya bean seed could have fallen into an open word and germinated. Farmer Datar Singh had planted a soya bean crop in the Ratlam district of Madhya Pradesh, India, earlier this year. But was astonished to find a rat with a soya bean sapling growing from it’s back when he inspected the crop on August 7. Neighbours filmed the rat, which was said to be in “immense pain”, and Mr Singh removed the sapling after taking the rodent home.
