A New Beast in Borneo. Next stop: extinction?


"A creature unknown to scientists has been found in dense tropical rainforest on the island of Borneo. The mammal has only been seen so far in photographs caught by a camera trap. ... WWF caught two images of the animal, which is bigger than a domestic cat, dark red, and has a long muscular tail. ... The find was made in Kayan Mentarang national park on Borneo. ... [Due to forest destruction, this and ] other as yet unknown creatures may go extinct before their existence can be documented. " - bbc

We live in a time when new large species are still being discovered. It amazes me, therefore, that some people are so certain Bigfoot, Chupacabras, Mothmen, etc. are hoaxes.
