despite the recreation’s similarity to the greatest extant rodent, the closest living relative of this genus (Josephostaliniaartigasia) is the pacarana
approximately 500kg and 2.6m long
here is a possibly inaccurate depiction next to some guy and my cousin
Now that is an exceptionally large rodent
almost to the point of being comical, one might say
Do you think they liked grain?
I believe that is a defining characteristic of rodentkind
Is this the “behold the glory of my ancestors” post?
we are only very distantly related, but I uphold all of rodentkind
😍😍😍
I had a hamster once that was the size of a baseball and the fucker occasionally bit my finger and it would just not let loose.
A bite by these units would be mental.
Amusingly, despite their reputation, hamsters have a helluva warrior spirit
about the size of a polar bear, possibly larger, so it would certainly have big teef
Me, I just want a cat.
They don’t call you the “Grain Eater” for nothing.
What a thrill…
