A giant rodent five times the size of a common rat, has been found in the mountainous jungles of New Guinea.

This one is too easy...

[rfp1234]

Not only is it big, it's ARMED too...

[TheThirdRuffian]

No clip.

I’m thinking possum.

So it’s not true that they are all born dead by the side of the road.

5x Bill Clinton’s size is pretty big.

It worked when I clicked the Play icon at the bottom left of the screen. The big icon may not work.

Nice roll up on the cold weather sleeping bag.
It looks like all his crap on the ALICE would fall off, pull off, drop off in minutes.

Jungle hat brim, brand new stiff.

LOL, yep... Michael Moore!

I promise I won’t say “Hillary!” the fist time I see it. Well, sorta promise...

Oh hell, can’t wait to see it and say, “Hillary!”

[Hazcat]

No clip.

That's because it doesn't use one.

[corkoman]

Inconceivable!

This one is too easy...

I agree.

“Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.’s?”

“Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don’t think they exist.”

I have seen rats scurrying on the sidewalk in S.F. that were much larger than the one in the video (I refer here to the four-leged variety - the ones with long tails and lots of fur). Maybe the rats in its native habitat are kind of puny - they must be if this thing is 5 times larger than they are.

[DoughtyOne]

Well at least it’s prettier than Hillary. ;-)

[Hyzenthlay]

You beat me by 45 seconds... I was still surprised it took 11 posts for someone to mention it.

[billorites]

Care for some gopher?

[rfp1234]

The rodent's family members were happy to see him.

[sofaman]

I expected to see Ted Kennedy. How disappointing ... there is a passing resemblance.

[rfp1234]

I think the big one is the possum-like animal briefly shown in the middle of the video. The small bushbaby-like critter at the beginning is the ‘other’ new mammal.

ROTFLOL

[freekitty]

Very good. I see you have nailed it.

[domenad]

Hahahahahahahahahahahhaha!

“Rodents of unusual size? I don’t think they exist.”

The little marsupial is a cutie.

The only proper thing to do when you find a cat sized rat is kill it. They need to napalm that entire jungle just to be sure.

[McBuff]

Here's a bigger rat!

[rfp1234]

Looks like a gerbil...where are his buddies?

Looks like a gerbil...where are his buddies?

Don't ask, don't tell.

[Chode]

nutrea or

[scory]

Yes, I believe you are right. Still, it isn’t 5 times bigger than at least one rat I saw on Mason St. in S.F. This thing must have been close to 10 inches long (not including tail). It was scurrying alongside of the buildings at Mason and Geary in broad daylight and ran into the theater that is located near there. Must have been late for the matinee.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Not the rifle, the VIDEO CLIP in the article.

[rfp1234]

The ones in downtown Oakland are almost that big, I’d estimate 8-9”.

[SunkenCiv]

Hate to see the size of the cats in New Guinea.

[Fred Nerks]

well...you did ask.

[SunkenCiv]

Seems like they’d use a lot of litter.

[ExSoldier]

I was still surprised it took 11 posts for someone to mention it.

Exactly. Should have been post #1.

[CitadelArmyJag]

wierd picture -where did that come from?

[Fred Nerks]

I Googled Papua New Guinea Cats and that’s what I got, LOL!
