Giant rats blamed for attacks

South Africa - The monster rodents as big as cats are believed to have killed two babies in South Africa’s squalid townships. The giant rats grow up to three-foot including their tails - and have front teeth over an inch long. Three-year-old Lunathi Dwadwa was killed as she slept in her parent’s shack in a slum outside Cape Town. Another baby girl died in a similar rat attack, on the same day, but this time in the Soweto township near Johannesburg. Little Lunathi was sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor of her family’s breeze block and corrugated iron home on when she died.  More
