Automatic cameras have captured photos of the first new carnivore found on the island of Borneo since the Borneo Ferret-Badger was discovered over a hundred years ago.
Really!
According to Dutch biologist Stephan Wulffrat;
"We have consulted several Bornean wildlife experts. Some thought it looked like a lemur, but most were convinced it was a new species of carnivore…"
Now, biologists are discovering new species all the time. Not new like "fresh-out-of-the-box" new, but more like "previously unknown to us"-type new. New carnivores are comparatively rare, though.
What struck me is how much it resembles the dreaded Chupacabra!
Ha! The chupacabra was exactly what came to my mind when I posted the same story. I wonder if the little critter eats goats…
No, no! El chupacabra is bigger and much goat-suckier. 🙂
Wait … this story about a ‘cat-lemur’, which is the newest species found in Borneo since the ‘ferret-badger’ … includes a researcher named “Wulffraat”? Tiiiiimmmeee! This some kinda joke?!
So El Chupacabra really is a transdimensional creature, leaping between Mexico and Indonesia at will! Art Bell was right!
“Look… if we built this large wooden ferret-badger…”
I’m suspicious of any biologist named Wulffrat.
Doesn’t he know that wolfs and rats are two different critters? He should change his name in shame.
I always love this kind of real biology news. It is always fun to see the reactions of the many “crypto-zoology” adherents on the internet. BIGFOOT LIVES! it could STILL BE OUT THERE!
