Hi there, I thought I knew all about African Wildlife but have never heard of this one. Almost a cross between a Raccoon and a Skunk. Thanks for posting the video..

You guys should thank Yahoo News for once again forgetting to post pictures in their articles: they posted an article on the African crested rat and never bothered to show us what it looked like, so everyone either flocked to Youtube or Google images. Thanks for this.

I read these rats have figured out a way to cover themselves in poison that comes from plants found in Africa, which incapacitates and sometimes kills any predators that try to attack it. Damn, rats are smart!!

@rodentcafeteria Thats why I'm on here too, ha

[rodentcafeteria]

@skevo9 Yeah, I just wanted to see what one looked like. Big fuckers, aren't they? Wouldn't have to worry about me getting anywhere near them, that's for sure!

@rodentcafeteria same here man lol. Did anyone even know these animals existed before August 2nd 2011? lol

[rodentcafeteria]

@KWP880609 Only if you lived in Africa. Over there they're called "pets."
