"However, the Sumatra bamboo rat, usually found in the south-western Chinese province of Yunnan and in the Malay Peninsula can grow up to 30 inches long, including tail, and can weigh up to eight pounds.
A "Giant Rat of Sumatra" is mentioned in the Sherlock Holmes tale: The Adventure of a Sussex Vampire.
All bamboo rats are slow-moving and usually spend their time in underground burrows, feeding on bamboo. Chinese bamboo rats are often sold for meat in Chinese markets. The largest rats in the world are thought to be African giant pouched rats, which can grow up to 36 inches in length."
Fascinating stuff. Even the little guys we get on the west coast freak me out. If I saw a three foot rat coming at me I might faint. I wouldn't say "Mmmmm yummy", that's for sure.

Correct. Though I can't give you the point due to needing to distribute more of them. Meh.

Well, if their meat is anything like my bamboo bed sheets I imagine the meat is soft and tender.
