How about giant rats? https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2015/mar/05/h...

Or we could genetically modify the penguins to be heavy enough to set off the mines

Add front legs and wool and you have a sheep. Which they have on the Falklands already.

GMO Penguins sound way cooler

Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist.

You have not been to Australia obviously. Tell that to the possum gracefully munching flowers outside my window.

Eh. On the one hand, that's a marsupial; on the other, possum-sized rats aren't at all unusual in Baltimore, and I gather in other cities as well.

Inconceivable!

I think a capybara's size is unusual for a rodent, but YMMV.
