Default New Species

New species discovered i think on the lost island new species of rat which weighs 1.4kgs and is roughly the size of a cat and new species of possum possibly the smallest in the world. Here is the name of both animals so you can google and tell me what you think. Cercarteus pygmy possum and Mallomys giant rat. and here is the link to the bbc website regarding the story pictures on this webpage. BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Giant rat found in 'lost world'
