Hungry rat found dead after eating its way through an ATM
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}It turns out that pizza isn’t the only food rats have a taste for.
Indian bank officials inspecting a broken-down ATM earlier this month discovered around 1.3million rupees ($18,500) in chewed-up currency – and a dead rodent.
“The ATM was out of order for a few days and when our technicians opened the kiosk we were shocked to find shredded notes and a dead rat,” Chandan Sharma, the branch manager for the State Bank of India’s Tinsukia location, told Reuters.

The rodent – who apparently ate paper until it could eat no more – crawled into the machine through a small hole meant for wires, a police superintendent told Sky News.
