New mammal


'New mammal' seen in Borneo woods

This is pretty cool! Its Rob's Birthday and the WWF thinks they found a new mammal! This does not happen all the time. They believe it is in the civet family because of it's tail. He looks pretty cute right? Just think of all the creatures we have left to find and then kill by looking for oil or logging forests! Or how many animals that we will never know existed.

Amen my darling. They estimate there are probably about 10 million species on the planet and we've found a measley 1.6 million. Yeah its funny that we know the damage we're doing to species we know exist...who knows what happening to those that we don't? hmmm...thoughts to ponder.

That little guy definitely has the looks of a civet. The big eyes are an interesting touch, obviously b/c it appears to be nocturnal. Can't wait to hear more about it!
