Eli, The Great Black Hunter brought in a gift last night, the biggest mouse
I have ever seen. Or is it a small rat? I just don't know! What do you
think?

By the time I got around to photographing it, the belly had swelled up. It
was not pregnant-looking when first found.

Nope, that's a really big mouse.

Rats have longer faces. Well, at least the ones I've had as pets.
This site can help with the pet varieties, so I assume the wild ones
aren't all that different.
