MEANWHILE IN VENEZUELA ... Jurassic Pet Scientists announced the discovery of a giant guinea pig weighing 300 kg that roamed South America 8 million years ago. Goya, as it was nicknamed by paleontologists who excavated its 3-m long skeleton, is the largest rodent ever found - 700 times heavier than its fluffy modern-day cousin.
