I read that.
One of my teachers said she went to stay in yemen, in a remote mountainside village without any electricity or anything.....one evening, she was sitting in the dark and saw a huge thing running across the room. She said she ran screaming out into the street and everybody came out to check out it was....they tipped the whole house upside down until behind the sofa they found a rat the size of small sized dog. They had to shoot it before it attacked.
