A 1-tonne rodent has been discovered by scientists in Uruguay. But there is no need to worry, Josephoartigasia monesi is around 2 million years old and fossilised.

J. monesi's skull, a whopping 53 centimetres long, was discovered in a broken boulder on the coast of Uruguay by Andrés Rinderknecht of the National Museum of Natural History and Anthropology, and Ernesto Blanco of the Institute of Physics, both in Montevideo.

Imagine what would have happened if the Dread Pirate Roberts crossed these.

I would have bought the toys if they'd had those in Jurassic Park. Or maybe I could get one for a pet. How about raising them for fur? One pelt makes a bedspread. Generating electricity with big running wheels...
