Just Jack Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Adorable new mammal species found 'in plain sight' Researchers announced Thursday a rare discovery of a new species of mammal called the olinguito. The reddish-brown animal is about 14-inches long with an equally long tail and weighs about 2 pounds. ... But the adorable olinguito (oh-lihn-GEE'-toe) shouldn't have been so hard to find. One of them once lived in the Smithsonian-run National Zoo in Washington for a year in a case of mistaken identity.

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) "...The little zoo critter, named Ringerl, was mistaken for a sister species, the olingo. Before she died in 1976, Ringerl was shipped from zoo to zoo in Louisville, Ky., Tucson, Ariz., Salt Lake City, Washington and New York City to try to get it to breed with other olingos. She wouldn't. "It turns out she wasn't fussy," Helge said. She wasn't the right species."" Any chance we can ship Pooj to other team's boards... Just kidding Pooj! :-P Edited August 16, 2013 by ExiledInIllinois
