Rats as big as cats

Postby Thoul » Wed Sep 9, '09, 4:52 pm

A new species of rat has been discovered in New Guinea. These rats measure about three feet long, making them as big as a cat! Apparently they're quite similar to the typical rat you might see in a sewer, just super sized. I'd hate to run into one of those at night, wouldn't you?

Some pictures can been viewed in this article. There are some other new species as well, like a frog with fangs.

I don't like rats. Seriously. We used to stay awhile with some relatives and they lived in an old house and they had huge rats there also. I was careful to stay far away from those as I could.

I guess about the only rat I like is Jerry from the cartoon duo of Tom & Jerry, and he's not really real now is he???? :wink:
