Remains of the largest rat every to walk the planet have been discovered in a cave in East Timor.
The massive rodent was three times the size of its modern counterparts, weighed as much as a small dog and is believed to have died out 2000 years ago. Dr Ken Aplin, who was part of the team that unearthed the remains, said that the find proved that rats dominated the East Timorese animal kingdom about five million years ago.
