Better Lost, Than Found...

I just came across THIS on a couple of blogs and news sites. Apparently a "new" species of giant rat was found in Indonesia. I, for one, would have preferred it remain a mystery. I am slightly phobic of rats and knowing that they come in an even larger size is what nightmares are made of. Also, having lived in New York for several years now... I think that I've seen larger "track rabbits" than the critter on the left!
