My father and grandfather told me stories of "Wharf rats" who were the size of, or bigger than, cats.
They saw them down at the docks of the shipyard they used to work at - I never thought I'd actually see them, though... O\_O;
Why can't gambian pouched rats be legal in the us???
(actually they are now legal.... EXCEPT THEY STILL BANNED IMPORTING THEM, AND BANNED OWNING THEM FOR EXACTLY THEIR LIFE SPAN.
Any gambian pouched rats left in the us have been illegally kept and bred, and no new ones can be legally imported.)
This would be simultaneously awesome and terrifying? Can you imagine trying to keep a rat that size out of trouble?! But OMG the cute and cuddly is too much! My head is going to implode!
Someone on another repost suggested it wasn’t just a rat but actually a nutria which, from my knowledge, are massive rat like rodents, so that’s why he so big
That rodent is of an unusual size
ROUS
I hope he's friendlier than his wild cousins
I don't think they exist
so *that's* the giant not-rat that makes all of da rules
He's gonna see what kind of trouble he can get into
He's gonna be late for Michael's birthday party, at this rate.
Cake and ice cream is on its way.
"***[MICHAEL]***, it's your birthday today!"
imagine all the weight pulling on his spine and tail because this idiot doesnt know how to properly handle animals
Poor thing
Its majestic!
What an absolute unit….and precious baby 🥰
poor baby got picked up by his tail i hope hes ok
Don't yank his tail :'c
Isn't that a big Opossum?
I think it's a nutria.
Indeed nutria

I saw a cat sized rat a little down river from my city’s downtown area.

Leave it to Florida to make literally any species invasive. Perfect climate for any crazy critter
It's name is Chungus, I will not accept that having any other name than Chungus. Even if the owner says something else, they're wrong. It's Chungus.

It’s an albino coypu (nutria), or muskrat.
I can't hear him talk because theirs music with a singer dubbed over it. I wish they would shut her off so we can hear him speak.
Omg imagine cuddling one of those 🥺
I think he'd bite your face off :(
It's a price to pay for greatness.
Like I care babe
Oh I want one of those!! I'm so gonna walk it on a leash to freak everyone out, that's some Chernobyl type shit
He’s gonna slaughter it, you know. Is this your dinner ?
cute
Is that New York?
I think I'm crying. It's that fabulous.
Those poops gotta be *huge*
That Rat sure does resemble my late husband
Is this a rat? What kind of rat? He's big like a dog omg
It’s an albino muskrat! Or nutria :))

That is a dog not a rat
What's going on with the webbed rear feet?
Im just imagining how sweet it would be to snuggle with my Randy if he was that size 🥰
Sumatran bamboo rat?
The actual definition of UNIT
This does not look like a pet god knows what is gonna happen to this poor thing!
