Yes, it's nearly as big as a chihuahua but don't be afraid. Rodents of unusual size, such as this one, could save your hide. A pilot program in Tanzania has trained them to detect land mines and also sniff out tuberculosis.

Could a giant, spit-sniffing rat save your life? Maybe ? they can be better than humans at diagnosing tuberculosis. A pilot program in Tanzania is using trained rats to smell TB in sputum samples. Up to 1,000 samples a week are collected from local hospitals by APOPO, a nonprofit that also trains rats to sniff out landmines. Although the TB samples have already been checked by a human under the microscope, the rat pack?s sniff tests have improved disease detection by 44 percent because the clever rodents often find TB that was missed.

:1orglaugh that would be some shit to video tape. not amusing for the guests but great entertainment for the hosts!

you could intro with a background story before dinner, just casually mention "we've been having some rat problems in the neighborhood lately. i am talking big fucking rats too, and apparently they are not nice at all.
one ate my neighbors poodle right in front of her eyes, apparently they also go after people's ankles. a few people have been hobbled by these damn things. well let's eat shall we?"
