Pig Nosed Rat with Vampire Teeth

Tweet

When species like this get discovered, I always wonder why Hollywood doesn’t pick up on it and create another classic movie like in the old days, say, “The Creature From the Black Lagoon.” This odd rodent comes from Indonesia, from the island of Sulawesi. It has been newly identified, and is it ever strange. The creature has a nose like a hog and the kind of teeth a vampire would love to have. Amazingly enough, it is a rat. I know many of you are saying "yuck," but what is this poor thing supposed to say? Luckily it has never looked into a mirror. They found it in a trap, and then researchers realized what they had discovered. But you know, I think its rather cute. What do you think?
