WE’RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER MOUSETRAP
Scientists have discovered the fossilized remains of an ancient rodent — about the size of a bull. What did these creatures eat? ….Pretty much anything they wanted to.

Lol That’s awesome!!! We should get you a huge mouse trap next year for Christmas to go with your Bible and your mug!!
Well, considering a lot of the critters used to be much bigger, maybe it still ate bugs and leftovers!
Lol Joel!! And I’ll bet we could find a giant moustrap on greatbigthings…
I don’t think meeting this rodent in a dark alley would be an experience you’d apreciate…
Considering that there are few rodents nowadays not kept as pets, I’m trying to imagine how many bales of pine shavings you’d need weekly for a one-ton guinea pig like that.
I’m just imagining all the possibilities for using these creatures as steeds. And assuming it was a herbivore like many rodents, think of the number it might do to the field or orchard.
