OK. This is another grossed story I have found on BoingBoing website. The news reported that
the six-pound rat was caught by a Chinese man, named Xian, at the weekend in a residential area of Fuzhou, a city of six million people on China’s south coast.
It is claimed that the rat s a Baboo rat which is normally can grow up to eight pounds. Ewww..www.

The report also mentioned that baboo rat meat has been selling in the market too… WOWW!
