Yea, recon its real, I have seen one myself this big when I was a kid. We used to have loads a rats around the houses and in the bins, if ya opened our bin in the back garden about 3 at a time would fly out, they were only normal size, we then got a jack called Midge that would do them all. Few years later I was in the back doin keep ups with a ball, it was about 7 or 8 at night in the summer and still pretty light, I seen something jump onto the fence in the corner of me eye, immediately thought it was a cat and went to boot the ball at it, looked and then it climbed down and its fu***** long tail followed about a foot or two in length behind it, I looked at it and ran screamin ha ha ha, I shit myself, I went in and told me grandad and he came out in bare feet and grabbed the spade, the rat was well gone. I wouldn't go in the back for ages and where it came over the fence from by the neighbours I had a Webley scorpion buried behind the fence but was terrified to get it haha ha, them were the days ha ha ah aha, seriously though it was as big as the ones in those pics defo, about size of a cat..

Shouldve taken a picture of it laid stretched out with something beside it so we see the scale

something that size thought you'd have taken more than one picture as a souvenir ?

The Coypu or Nutria as we call them, ain,t any thing really, ok they can do a bit of damage with those big orange teeth, but once the terrier has locked on to its throat its over and done with, as Valerio said, pound for pound a brown rat is harder.If you want to know the size here is a foto of a Nutria alongside a 14 inch Russell.
