For the first time in 35 years, a new carnivorous mammal was discovered
« on: May 06, 2015, 01:48:17 PM »

A relative of the raccoon, the olinguito, has been described as looking like a "cross between a house cat and a teddy bear."

The animal's discovery in the forests of Ecuador, confirmed in August, shows that the world is not yet completely explored. It's the first new species of mammal discovered in 35 years.
