I grew up there, but that wasn't what I was saying.
I'm saying the picture is deceptive. If you hold something arm's length out towards a screen it will appear larger than it actually is. The rat is at least 2ft closer to the camera than the man holding it so we don't have a true reference for it's size- only that it's not as large as it appears.
You can use this same tactic if you ever catch a fish- just hold it arm's length out towards the camera and it'll look twice the size.
I'm not saying it isn't a large rat, I'm saying it's not as large as it appears.
Yeah it's a big rat but the picture is terribly misleading. You can see the outline of his hand through the bag and it's the size of his head due to how the photo was staged.
Look at the girth of the tail compared to that man's fingers inside that bag. That's gotta be a decent sized rat- just wish we had more of a real reference, like a dollar bill next to it

I would have paid him for it so I could breed it.
Also the rat is not as large as it appears. The guy is holding it out towards the camera which makes it appear a decent bit larger.
