This Giant Rat Was Found At A London Playground

A massive rat the size of a small dog was found by Tony Smith at a playground in East London.

This is the stuff that nightmares are made of...

Luckily it seems the rats size is due to a camera trick called 'forced perspective'...

Even if it is true that is still one BIG rat! Especially if to an innocent kid on the playground!
