Ratzilla

Apparently the Swedes are 'agog' at the discovery of this super rat:


My question is, why is he about to cook it?

Have a look at this:
Surströmming http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming
A large rodent is probably seen as just another delicacy.

It looks a bit like a giant pouched rat, but I could be wrong. If it is, it's probably someone's escaped pet

Aww I hope not

I'm fairly sure that's a bog-standard wild brown rat.

These can reach quite a size when there's plenty of food about. I saw one in the fishing harbour in Essaouira that was almost as big as the local cats.

If the OP was correct, that would be a giant Poached rat...

Sorry, I'll go now

I was thinking the same, my pet rats got bloody big and Ive seen them as big as in the pic on the farm.
