I hate normal sized mice and rats, so I have no idea how I would react to what they’re calling “Ratzilla” that a family in Sweden caught in their home.

The rat measured 16 inches long without the tail. It apparently ruled the kitchen, with even the family cat afraid to go into the room. They finally caught the monster with a very large trap, although apparently the rat survived at first enough to try to crawl away whereupon one of the sons finished him off. If you want to see what such a beast would look like, follow the link and make sure you scroll past the first picture to see others:
