Gigantic Rat Discovered In Indonesia
« on: December 17, 2007, 07:19:16 AM »
Scientists have discovered a new gigantic species of rat living in a remote jungle in Indonesia, that is as large as many cats.   Here is a photo of a researcher holding the animal for the press:





Her is a link to the complete news story:

Hopefully this animal will never be brought to North America, like the Nutria rodent was.   We have many of these living here now where I am, and they are extremely ugly:

Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they....oh....nevermind. :rolleyes:
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Well, there are naturally rodents that are much larger than this.

But remember, this is a RAT!!  What would we do, if Rats in the USA became this big?

Oops, I totally forgot about our politicians.
