RATS, will be the last to perish at the end of the world?

After WORLD WAR II ended, the ISLAND OF ENGEBI in the western PACIFIC was chosen by the UNITED STATES as a TESTING  LAND FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS.  Plants, animals, birds, and fish were annihilated by intensive radiation.
Time passed and YEARS LATER, scientists went there to inspect the land and confirm that no form of life survived the test. They were astonished to find that RATS EMERGED from their hiding places. They were healthy with an even longer life span than they had before, proving to the scientists their phenomenal CAPACITY TO ADAPT AND SURVIVE.
Many groups of rats are IMMUNE TO WARFARIN, a poison that PREVENTS BLOOD FROM CLOTING making the animal BLEEDS TO DEAD.     RATS have ADAPTED to this threat by DEVELOPING BLOOD THAT CLOTS DESPITE THE POISON.
In 1348, RATS prove to be strong and at the same time carriers of diseases that killed other animals but they survived. They brought the PLAGUE to EUROPE. The animals travelled in the holds of the ships sailing from PORTS OF THE BLACK SEA TO GENOA carrying the BACTERIUM ON FLEAS THAT LIVED IN THEIR COATS. The EPIDEMIC RAGED FOR THREE YEARS and KILLED 25 MILLION PEOPLE,  A QUARTER OF THE POPULATION OF EUROPE. Over the NEXT FEW DECADES, that NUMBER more than DOUBLED.  RATS changed the history of the world.
RATS are versatile and tough. They can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter, climb almost any vertical surface, burrow through the earth, swim almost a mile even against a strong current, tread water for up to three days, jump as high as three feet, and drop from a height of 45 feet. Rats can kill quarry more than twice their own size, and they can chew through live electrical cable.
Today rats continue to SPREAD DISEASE. They are responsible for TYPHUS, TRICHINOSIS, LASSA FEVER and SALMONELLA. At the same time they are valuable in testing new drugs.
Docile when captive, rats require little space, reproduce very quickly, and will eat anything. No matter how many are eliminated, the next generation will quickly replace them. One male and one female can have as many as 15,000 descendants in a single year.
