Today, I saw the most gruesome thing..I was in my basement, where I keep my fishes at, then this big looking 4 legged thing peeked in through the door..It was ugly and I was scared because I thought that thing was going to attack me..Do 30 inch rats exist? I saw one today
 
it may have been a muskrat.... they get that big and look a lot like normal rats. I used to keep and breed rats and my biggest male was not over 16" long including tail.
 
I think it was a sewer rat that got too big or something and it lives in the streets.........I live in the city....
 
All the time along the waterfront and piers at Naval bases and shipyards.
 
We have a pet rat in our store.

A customer brought him in cause they couldnt take care of it anymore.

Turns out the rat is twice the size of a normal adult rat, and we found out it was fed table scraps its whole life. We weighed it and its about 2lbs. haha that has to be the biggest regular rat ive ever seen.

But the rats your talkin bout, ive seen quite a few of them swiming in the lake. Looked alot like a beaver but we have no beavers here.
 
Before the leathermill industry here dried up and moved to Mexico, it was common to have VERY large rats in town. We once had a neighbor from across our street knock on our door to tell us we had a rat in our attic. He said he could see it in our attic window from across the street!! We knew a little about him so dismissed it as a bad trip or some drug induced halucigen. About a month later, we came home from camping and in the middle of our living room was a dead rat larger than our pekingese dog. No idea why it died or how it got in the living room but the backside of the attic door was scratched and chewed beyong belief. I now keep a baseball bat ready but we have not heard of these mill rats for several years.
