GIANT RAT FOSSIL SIZE OF CAR FOUND IN SOUTH AMERICA
The fossilised skull of a rat the size of a car has been unearthed. The creature lived about four million years ago, weighed about a tonne and ate mostly soft vegetation. It was so big that it probably spent much of its life semi-submerged in water, like a hippo, to reduce the stresses caused by its size.

Palaeontologists found the skull in rock deposits in Uruguay. It is believed to date back two to four million years to a time when giant wildlife was commonplace in South America.

The rodent, Josephoartigasia monesi, was uncovered by Andrés Rinderknecht and Ernesto Blanco. It has been nicknamed Mighty Mouse and is thought to have been similar to the capybara and pacarana, much smaller creatures that are still found in South America. Capybaras are the biggest living rodents at just over 60kg fully grown, while pacaranas weigh 15kg. The common rat weighs about 300g.

J. monesi is thought to have weighed about a tonne and the biggest specimens could have been more than 2.5 tonnes — about the same as hippopotamuses, which range from 1.4 tonnes to 3.2 tonnes.


The rodent was estimated to be about 3m (10 feet) long and 1.5m tall. Its huge incisors were more than 30cm (12in) long, of which 10cm would have been exposed.

This article disproves evolution and so we will edit this propaganda piece.

Giant rat that once roamed the earth

The fossilised skull of a rat the size of a car has been unearthed. The creature [edit] weighed about a tonne and ate mostly soft vegetation. It was so big that it probably spent much of its life semi-submerged in water, like a hippo, to reduce the stresses caused by its size.

Ok explain this one all you Darwin supporters.
See how the rigid theory of evolution has so many holes.
I'm not religious so don't try and insult me.
My point is that today's science is so narrow minded. The scientists from a hundred years ago would be mortified by all the scientists today who don't question issues like evolution and global warming. And in fact, they blackball detractors.

There are lots of species from three million years ago that have never been found and never will be found.

Three million years is a long time. Heck, from Noahs
flood a mere two thousaad years ago the 6 people on the a ark produce 180 different races of humans.

For example, I don't think I have ever seen two brown people produce african pigmy babies.

How did that happen?

I don't remeber the name of the video on youtube, but it showed a scientist theorizing that the earths atmospheric pressure was 7 times greater than it is today. Further speculating that the atmosphere was ripped away by an asteroid or the like. The cause of the exinction of the dinos was not enough O2 rather than an exinction event per se. Anyway following the change in atmospheric pressure life on earth came back in a smaller variety. Apparently greater pressure creates a perfect enviroment for life on earth. All things were bigger, trees, bugs, reptiles etc. To prove his theory he raises two piranah in barometric chambers. Fish#1 at current atmospheric presure and Fish#2 at a pressure 7X greater. Fish #1 was approximately 1lb while Fish#2 was like 5 lbs! Really huge. This could also explain the giant hominid fossils(steve quayle) found but suppressed. Just thinkin'

Some say the dinosaurs and other giant fossils of things found today were the playthings of the nephilim who genetically altered life forms for their amusement. All wiped out by the flood.

Re: GIANT RAT FOSSIL SIZE OF CAR FOUND IN SOUTH AMERICA
I heard shit was bigger in the past because jungles covered everything, lots of plant life means lots of animal life and because the jungles were in such abundance everything was really big, then something happened, no ones sure for certain, but I like the air pressure thing, anyway I heard all the vast jungles got stripped away by ClImAtE cHaNgE cause by god knows what, they cant agree on anything, but I like the theory that lots of stuff slowly died off and the stuff that didn't slowly evolved to become smaller, the theory goes that many of those fossils are still walking about today looking slightly different.

 Quoting: Monadnock


That's what I was taught about the big sauropods (Brontosaurus, Brachiosaurus). It was believed that they were too heavy to support their own weight.

Now they realize that they browsed in upland dry conifer forests. They used those long necks and tails to balance on their hind legs and nibble off the tender shoots from treetops. Apparently they were the dinosaur equivalent of giraffes.
