I thought it was a really small brontosaurus for a while there. 😱

It's true, everything's upside down, Down Under.

Good one. 🙂

That's quite some tail it has there and it's a carnivore? Makes me somehow think it's not that cuddly...

It's all relative, isn't it? Who knows what ancestors it had...unless it does.

Cute.


Wonder if it tastes good with ketchup.

Yeah, me too.

When I saw it the right way I figured it for a coati. I saw another article that said that locals figure it for a lemur.

Thing is coati aren't indigenous to anywhere near borneo.

looks like the size of a dc rat...😉 😎 😀

Haha, I thought you were on crack until I looked back at the photo! You are so awesome! Haha.

That said, the last part of the article is to be expected. 🙁 But still a bit saddening.

It is concerned that other as yet unknown creatures may go extinct before their existence can be documented.

The group is planning to capture the new species in a live trap so it can be properly studied and described.

I thought from the title this was a birth announcement...

"The photos look most like a lemur," he told the BBC News website. "But there certainly shouldn't be lemurs in Borneo.

I say it's a lemur and I want one. Can I order one online?

Uncanny!

Check the top entry! 😀

I'd so love to be there when they finally catch one in a live trap and find it can talk.

And it'll demand $10,000 cash upfront before speaking on camera.

It has frickin' laser eyes.

I wonder what it would cost to get one as a pet?

I wonder what it would cost to get one as a sandwich?

Took me a minute...

 

[EGT]

It looks like it could be related to the Tarsier. Very interesting.

Uncanny!

What a weird forum. They tried to attract google ads for Lemur. Who would do such a stupid thing. 😉

 

[skunk]

They've got lemurs galore in Lemuria.

Your life, probably.

 

[johnnyjibbs]

This is really fascinating. It just goes to show there's plenty of unknowns still out there in the world. I'm sure there are many more species of relatively big animals that remain undiscovered out there in the jungle...
