I used to have a pet hooded rat, which is why I think the giant rat recently discovered in Indonesia is actually kinda cute. Plus, it’s almost as large as my cat! It would be hilarious to get them together.
You know, I hope the rat is sedated in this photo, and not dead. Hmm.
My God! It’s the Giant Rat of Sumatra! Probably not dead – probably just coming down from a caffeine high.
Nah, they’re friendly. They’ve never met humans before so they have no reason to be afraid.
