A British scientific expedition to a remote rainforest in Papua New Guinea has discovered a new species of giant rat, one of the biggest in the world. |
[00:10.53] |
The Bosavi woolly rat is the size of a small domestic cat, weighing around a kilo and a half. |
[00:16.05] |
It was found by a BBC wildlife film crew. |
[00:19.35] |
Here's cameraman Gordon Buchanan. |
[00:21.57] |
This is the biggest true rat in the world. |
[00:24.98] |
Unbelievable! It's actually so big. |
[00:28.07] |
It doesn't look like a rat. |
[00:29.49] |
This fellow is just incredible. |
[00:32.10] |
This is a really significant finding for expedition. |

The people of the South Pacific nation of Samoa are switching to driving on the left-hand side of the road today, the first country to change sides since the 1970s. |
[00:46.37] |
The move survived a legal challenge from a protest group which argues that it would lead to chaos. |
[00:52.19] |
The emergency services have been conducting demonstrations to show drivers what to do. |
[00:56.98] |
And a two-day national holiday has been declared to minimise disruption. |
[01:01.10] |
The Samoa government says the change would allow people to drive cheaper imported cars from Australia and New Zealand, which also drive on the left. |
