It's a species believed to have been extinct for 11 million years. It was just hiding all that time.

It's funny. The absurdity of saying it "reappeared".
Like magic.

I guess some will say it re-Evolved in 11 million years. But the facts are it has not changed at all.

The analysis done on the status of rat-squirrel was conducted by the same people who claim humans influence global climate change.

Hey, a "rat" that my wife might like.
The hairless tail freaks her out.
Still has the "beady, scheming, like its planning something eyes" -- quote from my wife.

These friendly critters have died out and reappeared at least 4 times in the last 10 million years...

That's an amazing photo of a coelacanth -- thanks.

For those of us who subscribe to a "young Earth," creationist view, this comes as no surprise. These fossils, like virtually all others, were "dated" in accordance with their presumed place on the evolutionary tree. (Check out the criticisms of circular fossil dating even among mainstream biologists).
If you removed evolutionary theory bias from the dating equation, there would have been no basis for the 11 million year age of the fossils in the first place.
I'm only surprised that biologists didn't choose to disbelieve their "lying eyes" in favor of evolutionary dogma!

he stopped evolving? Evidently, yes. He found a niche which didn't require further adaptation. Nothing in the theory of Natural Selection requires that animals keep changing.
