A 1,545-pound rodent?

https://www.msnbc.com/news/968565.asp

Whoa, I've been unlucky enough to deal with a few small mice, and even dealt with a few gopher rats (they can be as big as cats) before, but I think that if this thing was still around, he could have my whole house.

They have a rat trap big enough to catch something of that size? Thank goodness those creatures don't live now. They would probably have their own colony.

Heh, that would be pretty cool...It would make good target practice if it didn't bite. I think I will stick to gophers for now. Just imagine that in your backyard eating your vegetables and kids....that would be scary.

I once heard a story of a giant blob found in chili.  I giant fleshy blob.  It was probably just the skin of some animal though, still the picture looked pretty gross.

Right now the biggest rodent in the world is the Capybara, which lives in the jungles of South America. One hundred pound specimens are not unusual, and there's no reason to believe that a 200 pound capybara doesn't live in the jungle somewhere, since most of it is unexplored. The only predators that pose any real threat are crocodiles and jaguars, and jaguars aren't very common anymore.

Anyway, saying there was a 1,545 pound rodent is rather imprecise. It would be more believable had they said a 1,500 pound rodent. How they extrapolated the extra 45 pounds from existing data demonstrates a lack of understanding of mathematics.
