Yahoo News reports this beastly rodent is enough to give you nightmares.
The huge rat was found dead just feet away from a popular playground for children in London.
Gas engineer Tony Smith, 46, spotted the animal while working at a block of flats in the middle of London – and held it up for the camera to see.
Of course, its size is distorted by how close it is to lens – but it’s still a sizeable creature.
Smith said that the rat, which was found near where children play in Hackney Downs, London, was by far the largest he’d ever seen.
Tony, from Dagenham, said: “This is the largest rat I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
