Firstclass newsline gathered that a river rat three times the size of
the average Irish rat has been discovered living in Tipperary.
The rat, which is thought to be a native of South America, is now
being cared for by the Kildare Animal Foundation after being
discovered in Tipperary last week.
Nicknamed Swampy by his minders, who spoke to the Irish Sun, the rat
is a native of South American rivers and swamps (hence the name) and
is technically known as a coypu.
The animal is presumed to have escaped or been released by a collector.
It is about the size of a dog, weighs in at 6kg and is thought to have
been in the wild for about a fortnight before being discovered.
The animal, who the Kildare group hope to find a home for, has been
largely quiet but he has done some 'hissing and growling' to warn his
minders not to get too close.
