Giant Rats. I thought the possums were big and it gets worse they already got traps for them in Sweden.

Ain't that big :) Have seen them much bigger in Miami.. I always figure dif one got too close, I'd put my high school football placekicker practice to work... , and then around here, we got Muskrats - but those, you can trap and make money on the furs.

I haven't ever been to Florida but if I do I might want carry one of Bobodu cannons. :)

Now muskrats we do have them here too. One of my uncles made a living trapping them and selling the hides.

Muskrat pelts went from $1.50 each to $9 in two years. Some of the guys around here catch 1000+ each years in the tidal marshes.

I have seen Warf Rats at least that large in more than one country. Especially Chicago down near the lake. Was walking through one of the tunnels that cross under a street near the lake and they were running along the walls right beside me. Carl
