Rodents Of Unusual Size

It's like a scene out of "The Princess Bride".

A new species of rat was discovered in Papua New Guinea that measures almost 3 feet long and has no apparent fear of humans.

It was discovered inside on the inside of a volcano crater (and not the"Dreaded Fire Swamp") by a film crew who were filming a documentary about the area.

That is one FUGLY-looking critter!
