The biggest rat I’ve ever seen is now in the White House and his name is BaRAT.

A team of scientists discovered the bizarre animals - and dozens of others - at a remote volcano in Papua New Guinea... the volcano last erupted 200,000 years ago.

I saw wharf rats as big as cats (bodies only) in a dark building where you wait for the ferry from Vancouver to Vancouver Island.

Heard noises and turned on the headlights. Viola’

I think they were feeding on the scraps that tourists threw out their windows.

The first time I saw a possum in the back yard very, very long ago, I thought it was a giant rat.

If it turned out to be a giant possum, show him this 127 Pound Cabbage and make your getaway:

Do they like pumpkins? The county fair is on right now, and I might be able to get a nice, big one.

And the two folks in the picture represent a state with a reputation for having beautiful people. How did that happen?
