Anything that can’t fill a Subway footlong bun doesn’t deserve to be called “super”.

I caught one bigger than that in my garage. It was 15” from nose to tip of tail and I have the pictures to prove it.

It is about 17 cm (6.5 inches) long from head to rump, and is estimated to have weighed 80 grams (about 2.8 ounces). That's a "super rat"? It must have had a cape and an alter ego.

That's odd... it says online that James Carville is only 68, and was born in Louisiana.

I knew a sorority girl with sharp teeth and flexible ankles, and she was a nocturnal mammal.
She was very active at night, but I don’t think she was technically a rodent or rat.

"A fossil of the oldest known ancestor of modern rats—an agile creature that could climb, burrow and eat just about anything—has been unearthed in China, scientists said Thursday.”
They're still around, but they look a little different.
