New Rodent Species Found

Posted by Zonk on from the squeak-squeak dept.

IZ Reloaded writes "A new species of rodent has been discovered by World Conservation Society researcher Dr. Robert Timmins. He found this creature in a hunter's market in Central Laos. The creature known as Kha-Nyou to the locals is so unique it represents an entire new family of wildlife. Kha-Nyou diverged from other rodents millions of years ago."

    Simply amazing. Millions of scientists working around the clock for years, and they can't find a Rodent? Is this considered a big accomplishment? And why are we exploring the stars if we can't even find rodent's on earth?
