QuoteScientists in the US have discovered a new animal living in the cloud forests of Colombia and Ecuador.

It has been named olinguito and is the first new species of carnivore to be identified in the Western hemisphere in 35 years.

It has taken more than a decade to identify the mammal, a discovery that scientists say is incredibly rare in the 21st Century.

How has science missed something this adorable?  :P

Look at those claws! It's probably like the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog with nasty, big, pointy teeth that gouge your eyeballs out before you can report seeing one.

It is cute, also a little evil looking. I approve ;)

It's a relative of the Drop Bear, hence the claws.

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.
