Nice.

I saw a possum in the alley once taking out the trash and just about sh*t myself because I thought at first it was a gigantic mutant rat.

that thing you posted is almost possum sized.

Alley cats are in for a war.

Great, now all the runaway pythons have something to eat.

Someone call Discovery Channel. "rat hunters?" "vermin quest?" "alaska's gold mining rat monsters?"

It's probably delicious. I'm sure there are still a few people eating nutria in cajun country.

They all swear to God that they do not!

But then they just sort of smile at you, real slow and kinda slight-like, the way a Cajun do... especially if you are eating their gumbo when the subject comes up!

But Wesley, what about the R.O.U.S.es?

Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't believe they exist.

They eat that nutria rat in cajun country, get em turned onto these critters. See the size of the balls on them critters? They could have a gambian rat testicle festival like that one town does with the turkeys. Hot sauce and rat nuts.
