New fossils found on Indonesian island.

Be a devil and tell us something about the fossils or even quote from the link.

The Giant Rat of Sumatra! At last.

Yeah. Is there anything unique about these fossils?

The Giant Rat of Sumatra! At last.

Komodo dragons, giant rats, dwarf elephants, a fauna very like Flores. I'd not be surpried if hominin fossils turn up too.

That would be interesting.
