I have seen one, and it WAS the size of a cat! Scared the shit out of me!
-
i love that show
-
there r some i saw 1 when i was 7 i live in Washington DC close to NY
-
I just took a look at that video, and might I say, what an adorable little creature, very docile, not like the rats here in America who do tend to show aggression.

i used to live in yonkers years ago and i have seen rats that large along the saw mill river. not that often mind you but yes they are out there...

I'd be less skeptical that they saw a giant rodent but more skeptical that is was in fact the a rat.. there are allot of related genus that are pretty huge. The Genus rattus though seems to be comprised of fairly small creatures (smaller than a cat anyway). having said that google "Giant rat found in 'lost volcano'" to see a true rat close to the size of a house cat.

again not part of the genus rattus but probably mistaken for a rat and it does live in America (both Americas that is):
Myocastor coypus
I think this is the classic "River Rat" people speak of. It is also adorable and bigger than a typical cat.
by the way wiseassgamer there is a big difference between a rat and a possum if you see a possum from the front the face and snout are much different and a possum could not be mistaken for a rat....

I don't know if you read the annitation, but when I saw the possum, it was just before 6:00 in the morning so it was still dark out, so I could see how they could be mistaken.
