Here is a picture. In the cartoon, he meows like a cat.

Seriously, They were introduced into Vanuatu. On top of everything else, they’re poisonous. They get on the lettuce, watercress and other local leafy greens and render them very dangerous to eat. We have to soak all local greens in a mild bleach solution, which makes those delicate salad dressings I’m so famous for[*] completely useless.

[*] Not.

Gambians are often called the largest rat species, though they are not true rats (subfamily Murinae) but rather a really huge rodent that happens to be shaped like a rat. Either way the point is HOLY CRAP ENORMOUS.
