Looks tasty. And I bet if you had enough of them that fur would make some really warm gloves.

I was really hoping this was going to be a Tazmanian Tiger, but it is still pretty cool.

I can’t recall ever having read an article that used the word “magnificent” to describe a rat.

After all this time they should be considered an invading non indigenous creature and eradicated post haste!

"This discovery marks the beginning of a major effort to save the red-crested Tree rat and heralds the start of a global initiative in search of lost mammal species," said Salaman.

And here's the money quote. Ought to be good for a few million in government grants.

Spectacular? What’s spectacular about this? Now capturing the Loch Ness Monster, THAT would be spectacular.

I’m disappointed - I thought it was going to be a democrat with a moral compass.

“Had we not worked with our partners to establish this reserve, it is reasonable to believe this species would still remain something that was only talked about in science journals. Now we need to work with our partners to take steps to see that this species continues to be a part of our world,” said George Fenwick, President of American Bird Conservancy.


Had they not been there the little rat would have still existed and lived its natural life untouched. What gives Mr. Fenwick audacity to decide what this little guy’s relationship with the human race should be.

It is my opinion that the tree rat made up its own mind abut that relationship. He came, he saw, he was not impressed and left.
