It's a species believed to have been extinct for 11 million years.

It was just hiding all that time.

It's funny. The absurdity of saying it "reappeared".

Like magic.

I guess some will say it re-Evolved in 11 million years. But the facts are it has not changed at all.

Hey, a "rat" that my wife might like.

The hairless tail freaks her out.

Still has the "beady, scheming, like its planning something eyes" -- quote from my wife.

These friendly critters have died out and reappeared at least 4 times in the last 10 million years...

For those of us who subscribe to a "young Earth," creationist view, this comes as no surprise. These fossils, like virtually all others, were "dated" in accordance with their presumed place on the evolutionary tree. (Check out the criticisms of circular fossil dating even among mainstream biologists).

If you removed evolutionary theory bias from the dating equation, there would have been no basis for the 11 million year age of the fossils in the first place.

I'm only surprised that biologists didn't choose to disbelieve their "lying eyes" in favor of evolutionary dogma!

To reappear after 11 million years is more exciting than if the rodent really had been a new species

This from a supposedly well educated naturalist!!! No reappearance or discovery involved. Western scientists have just seen it for this first time alive and not as a fossil. The local folk have a name and (likely thought the article doesn't say so) recipes for this animal.

Maybe it just "re-evolved" from a bizarre midnight rat/squirrel tryst?

Schaller calls the area "an absolute wonderland," because biologists who have ventured in have found unique animals, like a type of wild ox called the saola, barking deer, and never-before-seen bats.

Not to mention the poison-pooping bee, which mysteriously seems to have become extinct since 1979.
