Team History:

The largest rodent to ever walk the earth, Phoberomys Pattersoni measured 9 feet long and weighed over 1500 pounds. Part hippo, part beaver, Phoberomys dwarfs its modern day counterpart Capybara, a South American rat weighing in at a mere 110 pounds. Reached for comment, a German professor describes the enormous rodent: “Imagine a weird guinea pig, but huge, with a long tail for balancing on its hind legs and continuously growing teeth.” Phoberoyms had to deal with the likes of huge flesh-eating birds called Phorracoids and Purussaurus brasiliensis, a 40-foot long Amazon crocodile. Think we’re afraid of you?

Fear the rat.
