Giant rat found in 'lost volcano' - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Jewels;17174790]I am really starting to believe that Bethesda got the size of the rats in Oblivion right[/QUOTE] Those rats were in Morrowind (and the rest of the Elder Scrolls games) too, you know.

[QUOTE=fear me;17183651]Those rats were in Morrowind (and the rest of the Elder Scrolls games) too, you know.[/QUOTE] They were in every Fantasy game ever made, your point?

[QUOTE=radioactive;17183682]They were in every Fantasy game ever made, your point?[/QUOTE] You have a good point.

[QUOTE=Chrisordie;17180523]Like the Dodo they've probably never seen humans before and have no other reason to fear us.[/QUOTE] Actually, it is most likely because they have no natural predators.

[QUOTE=Herbie;17183740]Actually, it is most likely because they have no natural predators.[/QUOTE] Aye that to.

Rats are cannibals, so they undoubtedly have at least one predator- each other. No, I think they don't fear humans because what human has ever messed with them before now?

How come there are no TMNT jokes in this thread?

What a misleading thread title. I thought a new volcano had been found and there had been giant, fire-breathing dragon rats living inside it.

This thing would be awesome to have as a pet.

Pfft, I've seen bigger. [img]http://www.offbeatearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/capybara.jpg[/img]

These rats live in jungle, which has plenty of insect and small animals to feed on. These rats have no need to eat each other, thus bringing me to my point, they probably have no natural predators.

Now we can make dishes like rats in a cream sauce, rat flambe, rat necrom in bone meal gravy, deep fired rat, lemon rat with wild rice, and rat ragout, with powdered deer penis.

Holy shit those things are cute. We need more giant animals

Op's avatar fits with the picture.

Rats are actually fairly intelligent... damn it now I want one as a pet.

[QUOTE=Canned Induvidual;17174858]Be happy it wasnt a giant Lion or hippo.[/QUOTE] In a volcano... yeah cause that's where you'll find hippos normally.

They found some new bugs too [img]http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46333000/jpg/_46333818_strangespider.jpg[/img] [img]http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46333000/jpg/_46333879_img0364.jpg[/img] [img]http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46333000/jpg/_46333691_beadyspider.jpgp[/img] [img]http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46333000/jpg/_46333745_blueweevil.jpg[/img] [img]http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46333000/jpg/_46333747_redassasintypebug.jpg[/img] I don't know what the fuck these are.

....Wow, there's been rats this size since 1 A.D.

Damn, looks like they got [I]ratted[/i] out

I wonder if there are any other giant species in this volcano/jungle.

[QUOTE=AntorkaDelta;17195774]I wonder if there are any other giant species in this volcano/jungle.[/QUOTE] Giant Gorillas spiders and actual dinosaurs? Naaaaaaaah.

Your avatar fits perfectly
