UM-Bot Posted February 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The world's largest ever rodent was so big that it used its front teeth like tusks to defend itself. While today's guinea pigs make popular pets, two to four million years ago the cousin of these cuddly little rodents, a species known as Josephoartigasia monesi, grew to the size of a bull and had a bite force similar to that of a tiger.

Junior Chubb Posted February 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2015 If this guy was about today I don't think we would use the term Guinea Pig to refer to 'powerless' experiment subjects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblykiss Posted February 4, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 4, 2015 As an ignorant 'merican I am just gonna assume that 1.5m = about 35 feet....so I would ride those guinea pigs like war mammoths, crashing into my foes and hauling away vast mountains of pillage upon their broad, fur lined backs. I would have been Bubbly Khan, the Terror of Humanity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foil Hat Ninja Posted February 5, 2015 #11 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Dear Europe, Please excuse the previous post. It is not representative of all Americans. Some of us understand that 1.5 meters is only about six feet and that anyone trying to terrorize the countryside on such a beast would merely be considered cute and/or annoying. Thank you.
