06 Dec 2005 Gland, Switzerland - WWF researchers may have discovered a new, mysterious carnivore species in the dense, central forests of Borneo.
The animal, a mammal slightly larger than a domestic cat with dark red fur and a long, bushy tail, was photographed twice by a camera trap at night. This could be the first time in more than a century that a new carnivore has been discovered on the island. However, WWF researchers have not yet established whether this is an entirely new species or if it is a new species of marten or civet cat, which looks like a cross between a cat and a fox. a little more@ http://www.panda.org/news_facts/newsroom/index.cfm?uNewsID=52960
