Monster Rat caught in Sweden flat

When we bought our five acres with it's falling apart old red pine log cabin, we didn't have much financially, so we had to move in, then do the repairs. Until we got the land cleared, and all the holes in the structure located and blocked, we had field rat.
We would be watching TV, or just setting around the house, and all of a sudden, we would notice a big fat rat watching us. They even showed up two and three at a time. Setting in the middle of the floor, just starting at the weird people. The place had been unused for about 25 years, and those rats thought it was their house. Took us three years of diligently plugging openings. Yuk!!!
 
We don't have a problem with rodents here, but when we lived out in the country,there were some rats, not to mention the big opossum that decided he lived on our back porch for a while.
Tootsie, my heeler mix, was excellent for catching the little rats if they found a way into the house. She would hear one rustling, and then sit there excitedly waiting for it to come creeping out across the floor, and then she would POUNCE on that rascal fast ! ! She is a great little hunter, so if any should show up around here, they won't last long.
She also chases the squirrels and birds; but they are fast enough that Tootsie can't catch them.
 
NYC had rats that size. I personally saw one pretty much the same size in a warehouse near the East River when I was doing security work there.

And yes, they're quite scary.

Jaysus, Jilly!! What's worse it this from the guy..

But according to Jonas Wahlstrom, who manages Swedish zoo Skansenakvariet, there are bigger, wild rats roaming the country.
“They can bite properly. There may also be some diseases. They live among garbage so it’s not surprising,” he told Aftonbladet .
His advice? Eat them.
“It’s a very good meat”, he said.
 
this is too much, the one in my place was I think a third that size. I think I'd be dead of a heart attack if I saw that in my place:(
