An influx of gigantic rodents has brought extra precautions to a Swedish town, where schoolchildren have been ordered to stay indoors during break times.
Residents in the northern Swedish town of Sundsvall have been ordered to keep their doors and windows closed amid an invasion of unusually large rats. This is meant to safeguard local homes and shut off the rats' access to extra food, national broadcaster SVT reported.
"These aren't your normal type of rats you see in the forest. They are as big as cats," Benny Sagmo of the Sundsvall city planning office said. "They've already spread out towards a residential area. Those who live there can't even have their front doors or balcony doors open."

Looks like a Nutria without the long teeth
I have seen rats as big as cats though, at an auction on an Iowa farm.
