New Mammal Species Found in Borneo
lemonysam writes "The BBC is reporting that a new mammal species has been discovered in Borneo by a conservation group trying to document the local species, as part an effort to prevent the destruction of their habitat by logging and agriculture. The species, which has not been identified by local experts or the indigenous population, is roughly the size of a domestic cat and is believed to be carnivorous."
It looks like it's taking a dump on camera, which I guess is how many of us might feel if we had to live in a forest "owned" by businessmen, generals and politicians who are plundering it as fast as they can launder and bank their ill-gotten gains.

We discover new insects and bactera all the time, but discovering a new mammal kind of revives that scientific ambition in all of this that there really are some things out there that haven't been found.
In order for us to not cut our own oxygen supply, what we need is either an outside enemy or the likewise masculine value of attribution to new discoveries - just another conquest of a different kind.
What we really need is more feminine values, nurturing our wildlife and taking care of our own oxygen supply. It is also the heartful and intelligent thing to do.
It is often the most basic that needs to be stated over and over again, yes.

I trust that now that we know about this mammal we'll begin working immediately to destroy it's natural habitat and poison its food source. But don't worry, little fella. There'll be plenty of room for you in our labratories, zoos & untested rockets.
Not WE snaggletooth, YOU.
WE saved your collective asses.
And you know who WE are, and it's true, which makes it even worse.
How pathetic are you that you follow me from topic to topic and waste all your mod points at once modding me down?
You've eated?
