Default Giant Rats Discovered

"The giant rat is about five times the size of a typical city rat," said Kristofer Helgen, a scientist with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
"With no fear of humans, it apparently came into the camp several times during the trip."

I'll get this out of the way - I, for one, welcome our new rat overlords.

LOLrats anyone?
