For those of you not into The Princess Bride, ROUS stands for Rodents of Unusual Size. Now they have discover them in some Indonesian jungle...just as long as they don't come live in my house.
And quite frankly, they don't look that much bigger than, say, a common New York rat.
Posted by 10lees at December 17, 2007 05:44 PMThey do mention that it's like a possum. Although, it looks more like a muskrat. Do you remember me telling you I saw one running to the river along that gravel bank on our Fbks property.
So you don't WANT ONE? ;) Love, Mom

Posted by: dr gonzo at December 18, 2007 08:45 AMAs long as they don't BITE! ;)
Posted by: bevy at December 18, 2007 03:30 PMPoliticians don't bite, that would require them DOING something. We all know that doesn't happen very often.
Do they mean it's like a Possum in that it is a marsupial?
I did see a 'jungle' rat in a pet store one and it's tail was HUGE (that's actually the only part I saw), so no I don't want one...
Posted by: 10lees at December 19, 2007 09:22 AMYou guys are so cute. They are saying the discovered two different animals. The possum is actually at the bottom of the page. It is rather large but at least it looks nicer than the rats living in this city. Well the one that used to live in my entry way at least.
