The 1-ton creature is believed to have been about 3 meters in length and 1.5 meters tall.

Can you imagine the size of the mousetrap?!?! :eek:

ROIS (rodents of incredible size) have been around up until medieval times when the Princess Bride and her pirate wiped out their last male during their escape. :p *nods*

Actually, it's R.O.U.S - Rodents of Unusual Size. Perhaps there is a typo in your edition. :)

Capybara is actually meant to be pretty good, despite the fact that it's a massive rat.

And you can eat it on fridays during Lent because the Catholic Church ruled it a fish. :)

Saying, "I, for one, welcome our ancient rat overlords" doesn't have the same ring to it.

And yes, it is Russian, according to Babelfish. I just thought that we on NSG shouldn't expect replies only in english. After all, this IS an international forum. :D

These three ideas receive the Official Vojvodina-Nihon Doodlebug of Approval. *nods*

Although I myself wouldn't mind cultivating a horde of 'em, and laying siege to Redwall Abbey.

of course they were... can you imagine one of those poor kitties trying to get a decent bite of meat? those Fangs may be great for bringing down prey, but they're lousy in allowing getting a good mouthful of meat.

It lives on land, it's furry, and it's basically a big rat, but it's a fish? Crazy catholics.
