According to the BBC a giant rat has been discovered by Conservation International in the mountainous jungles of Papua New Guinea.

The beeb has photos of the thing, which Sneak thinks isn't really that giant, especially when you consider the size of the rodents that leap out from behind his fridge whenever it is necessary to move it.

Far better, Sneak thinks, to keep calling the rat tiny. That way it will never get any ideas above its station, and is far less likely to attack any cities. Like, you know, giant animals normally do when they are discovered.
