Dream - After years of failure, scientists finally succeeded in capturing images of a very rare giant rat. The size of the giant rat is reported to be so big that it can chew on a whole coconut.

According to the Ecology and Evolution Journal released on November 20th, the mice are called Vangunu giant rats. They are named after an island and have a large body size with a long tail and very short ears.

A few years later, the local Zaira community helped researchers install trap cameras to capture the secretive rodents. "All the images were taken during their active time at night, when they gathered in the middle of the night," wrote the researchers.
