Giant rat discovered in Indonesia jungle

[mgraham333]

New discovery? Looks like whoever manufactures the windscreens for the camera man's microphone already know about this species and have been using their pelts.

It's a rat the size of a cat!

[MoGrubb]

Sure is a cute little tyke.

Why is that guy holding one of our members like that?

Maybe we should take action.

Nah.

Not a PhotoShop picture. It's from yesterday's 60 Minutes show.

Ahhhh, that's nothing compared to a capybara! It's the world's largest rodent!

[Alexander]

They're REAL big!

That giant swamp rodent might be the wimpiest thing I've ever seen gunned down. It's a calm critter that munches plants and doesn't bother to run from a person ten feet away (I just watched footage of Jeff Corwin chilling with a capybara a few hours ago). Look at those proud hunters!

I was trying to show the size of the capybara relative to the humans. Icing a capybara wouldn't be a proud achievement, considering that they mainly eat melons.

"I swear! It was either the capybara or my cantaloupe!"

I dunno...look at the head of that guy on the right!

I know what your intentions were, Alexander. My post was more directed at the two mouth-breathers in the picture you posted.

"Some trophy, fellas. It's a harmless rodent."

The Brooklyn Zoo is the only place I have seen capybara. They are impressive.

Capybaras have been in residence at the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, Wisconsin, for many years.

Thanks for posting that - very funny - the whole thing, not just that item.

I wonder, maybe New Guinea is a dumping ground for radio active experiments(?).
