Title: New mammal discovered
Post by: zuludelta on January 31, 2008, 06:11:10 PM
Odd-looking little bugger (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7213571.stm)

Despite the name, it's actually more closely related to sea cows than shrews.

It's nice to see animal life is progressing ages and ages after they're endangered. ;)
Thank for this news! :D

Maybe the Chinese government's filtering the site and doesn't want you seeing pictures of elephant shrews and thinking all sorts of subversive thoughts :lol:

Let me help you out with a pic:

Everything tastes like chicken if you add enough BBQ sauce.
