They don't look like grass cutters.



Thank you. It is Owawa. I saw them once. They fell from a tree on campus. The students chased, killed, did justice to one & gave one to a lecturer. They called them owawa. I japa when they fell - they looked so scary.
How are those bush dogs? Look at the sizes of their limbs.

People say it's grass cutter otherwise known as cane rat, that's not grass cutter, check the toes well, all of them are shortened, zoom and check the faces or head well, that's not grass cutter's face or head. Again check well, grass cutter is not usually or as long as those in size. Observe well, if you know grass cutter well, this is not it, sure it looks like it, however, I don't know what this is.

Grass cutter or big rat but it is not rabbit

What the op has is definitely a grass cuter look at its face and the hairy body.

I think a big rat is different from a grass cutter. Some people are eating big house rats. grin

Tintinnoty:
Grass cutter
. Its surprising how many people on this forum do NOT know what a grass-cutter really looks like.

Not everything that lives and walks in the bush and of this size is a grass-cutter.

The pix you uploaded here is the real grass-cutter while what the OP claimed he caught though I don‘t know its name but I think it‘s a mere grass-SHAKER not grass-cutter.

This is called, the greater cane rat. It is distantly related to the house rat, but just fatter. From my experience, they taste like the house rat.
