Science Daily reports:
India's Mizoram state, facing a once-in-50-years invasion by rats, is reportedly offering a 2 1/2 U.S. cent reward per rodent tail to avert a crop wipeout.
This is separate from a $25 reward for a Chawmnu, dead or alive. The Chawmnus are giant rats, each believed to be the size of a female pig which, according to unconfirmed local rumors, already are stalking some villages, Britain's Daily Telegraph reported Friday.
There are no photographs of Chawmnus on the internet, leading one to believe that they might be ever so slightly imaginary. Still . . . you never know.
The Yetis keep Chawmnuses as pets...

At first I read it as Chihuahua! But, then it's almost the same thing?

Maybe their giant "Chawmnus" are really Capybaras?
