Looks like a kinkajou to me. They're calling this a new viverid, but it looks like it would fill a niche usually filled by the procynids (raccoons, red pandas, coatis, etc.)

Kind of like that ivory billed woodpecker. That one has netted them over 10 Million. But despite all of the technology today there are no definative pictures.

It is amazing to me how many new creatures are suddenly discovered in areas where planned development awaits environmental review.

Yet another species found. A friend who now lives on the Island of Borneo in the Malaysian country of Sawarak mentioned this new find in a email. He had nothing to add to what this article says.

It's obviously a Canadian Lynx, and the National Forest Service has a DNA sample to prove it!

Those are definately pictures of a Fossa That's what I thought when I saw the pics. With such a vast distance between the islands of Indonesian Borneo and Madagascar, that would mean it was likely that someone brought it/them to Borneo and it/they were released or escaped. Either that, or it was an interesting migration (maybe hitched a ride on a transport ship?)
To: CellPhoneSurfer
I'm sure that they had help getting there.
Now that they're there, they are an "endangered species" and must be afforded protection, right?

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that the environmentalist group that is taking the pictures put them there to begin with. Or to sound even more cynical, are actually taking the pictures on Madagascar and saying they are from Borneo.
We'll see if they are actually able to capture one as they say they want to do.

I laugh every time some environmentalist kid comes to my door with their clip board, ready to sign me up to save the world. I always think of stories like this when they tell me we're paving over the world.
