The biggest specimen of this species of rat found to date was 1.5kg , according to the doctor responsible for pest control in Madagascar 's health department, Sahondra Ramiakajato.
According to the report, a population of unusually large rats was found near the town of Ambatondrazaka in the past but they were far smaller in size than the latest catch.

Some have speculated it might have escaped from a laboratory, where it might have been fed an unusual diet that could explain its girth.
