Local media in Madagascar have reported the discovery of an enormous 7.5 kilogram rat in the Mandena nature reserve in the south of the country.

The average weight for a brown rat such as the one spotted is just 1.5 kilograms, this gigantic rodent of unusual size is described as being the same size as a six month old baby.

Following the recent spate of babies being eaten by rats the idea of a rat the size of a baby is surely the stuff of nightmares.

Residents in the area of Madagascar where the rat was discovered are speculating that it is a mutant strain which may have escaped from a research laboratory, Monsters and Critics reports.
