Yahoo! News/AP: Gambian pouch rat hits the Florida Keys
No one knows how, but the Gambian Pouch Rat, which can grow to the size of a racoon has been released in Grassy Key, in the Florida Keys. Officials are worried about the spread of the rat, which is so large that it does not appear to have any natural predators, and is not afraid of humans.
