Rodent The Size of a Buffalo!



Great, just more for the old folks to add to their stories. 'Back in my day we had climb a hill both ways to get to school, waist deep in the snow and the Rats were bigger then VW Beetle, you could ride it school if you could catch one...' 😉

Speaking of burning do you have such a sensation when you pee these days? 😛

Of course not. My job is researching neisseria gonorrhoeae, remember? If I were experiencing a burning sensation, I'd certainly know how to cure it. 😛

They have one of those at the St. Louis Zoo. I swear to god it looks like a hamster starring in a "B" 1950's drive in movie. Its very disturbing.

A zoo in nova scotia has a very peculiar rodent too - looks like around 30 lbs I think. To me it looks like a rabbit you'd see in a horror movie. It's got some weird teeth and just plain looks very "bad", as if it was genetically mutated to look that way.

I was watching that movie last weekend, and this was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread.
