Now that we know it exists, I'm sure it will find a tiny eco-niche to enjoy and eek out a perilous existence. Welcome, little friend!

Ha I was in the pub tonight and my country life friend informed me of this new mammal to which I replied 'how come I've not seen anything on the news about this?', and there it is when i get home and visit ilx, thread at the top - i love you all.

Well everyone's all "endangered" this and "threatened" that but this just goes to show that the animals are doing just fine on their own... we can finally ignore their plight.

It's believed to be carnivorous. Stay away. You don't want to be the first known victim of a man-eating lemur.

i wonder if Dr. Stephan Wulffraat's name influenced his decision to become a biologist.

I wonder what it tastes like.

...which was the first thing that sprang to my mind too when I saw the pic.

I love how they go on about it being endangered and rare and all, and then they say 'the next step is to trap one'. Couldn't you just, you know, leave it the hell alone?

It's cool, but it's no Aye-Aye.
