thedailywhat: Nuke It From Orbit of the Day: Housing Authority worker Jose Rivera poses with a Splinter-sized rat he caught at the Marcy Houses housing project in Bed-Stuy. According to Rivera, the mega-rat was one of three that came scurrying out of a rat hole he was filling in. Marcy Houses Tenant Association president Naomi Colon says sightings of unusually large rats have been reported for the past six years. The brobdingnagian rodent is believed to be a Gambian pouched rat, which can grow to be up to three feet in length. Also known as the African giant pouched rat, it was blamed for an outbreak of monkeypox in 2003 and banned from being imported. A ban on raising pouched rats as pets was lifted in 2008, but the import ban remains in place.  [nydn.] THE FUCK IS THIS?
