Article: Giant Cat-Sized Rats Discovered in Papuan 'lost world'

From the article:
When the large furry creature first scuttled into their jungle camp looking for its supper, the scientists assumed it was a cat.

But after several further visits, when it tamely allowed itself to be picked up, they realised they were actually holding a giant rat.

The monster rodent was the most spectacular discovery in a remote area of Indonesia which experts are describing as a "lost world" of hitherto-unknown animals and plants.
