New Mammal Found in Borneo.

Stephen Wulffraat discovered a new species of mammal in the island of Borneo, Indonesia.

According to the photographers, the animal is

"an enigmatic, red-furred creature with tiny ears and distinctive markings. The leaf that obscures its face makes it impossible to say if it has a pointed snout like a dog or fox, or a flat face like a cat. A second photo, from behind, shows it to have a long, bushy tail rather like a fox, and large hind legs. It is slightly larger than a domestic cat."

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

It sort of looks like a lemer. Or at least I think that is what they’re called. It looks alot like an animal I’ve seen before.

It’s not new. It’s a civet of a Bornean species thought to be extinct, but apparently is not.

You’re referring to the Hose’s palm civet.. If it is, then it’s good to see that it’s still alive (it was last seen in 1955).
