What's up with the centered stuff in a box? Not complaining, just curious.

It looks more like a hamster, other than that long tail. For a rat, it’s adorable. ;’)

He's adorable. Like a chinchilla, only colorful.

I’m disappointed - I thought it was going to be a democrat with a moral compass.Nah, this is science, not fantasy. Besides, to rediscover something it has to have been previously in evidence.
To: Red Badger
great.. just what we need.. more RATS
even though they were thought to be extinct, i’m sure that didn’t keep them from voting

A unique and mysterious guinea-pig-sized rodent, not seen since 1898... Apparently red created tree rats were able to find suitable mates during the 100 plus years.

What is most concerning, however, is that much of the tree rat's potential remaining range is inundated with introduced feral cats that prey on native fauna. Maybe feral cats brought back the tree rats. /s

Extinct tree rat? Odd, I have hunted tree rats for many years, like them fried with biscuits and gravy.

Allow me. Ahem...
IT'S A FRICKIN' RAT!
Like there aren't already a gazillion species of rats roaming the planet. I'm not exactly all worked up about one that was thought extinct being rediscovered.
