Title: Gigantic Rat Discovered In Indonesia
Post by: SIG220 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:

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:

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.
