I clipped to The Green Room for you.
A new species of cat is identified for the first time in almost 200 years. Genetic and skin tests on the Bornean clouded leopard have shown that it is almost as different from clouded leopards found on the Asian mainland...discovered living deep in the Borneo rain forest. With a body that measures just over a foot, the clouded leopard is the smallest of the 'big cats'. But compared to the size of the rest of its body, it has the biggest teeth of any cat, being called a modern-day sabre-tooth tiger.
Amazing - this cat is only about a foot long, and has biggest teeth! I do not want to meet up with this fellow!
Thanks for seeding this - I had heard about the new species discovered in the Vietnam Corridor but these are first pictures of most of them.

#2 - Mon Oct 15, 2007 12:51 PM EDTWhat is green room? I've never heard of that, we are growing when it's a green I've not seen, go us!! Good that green always gets my attention and I'll be sure to check on the group. An fyi while it crosses my mind, there's a greenvine tag lots of us have been using as a general environmental category tag.
I adore these features about newly discovered anything, it makes us remember how little we know of what we have. Hopefully it inspires us to understand the marvels rather than pave it all for WalMarts and Starbucks.

It is frightening to think how quickly we are chewing through our natural landscape - how many things are we never going to discover and simply cause to go extinct?
