Others have expressed skepticism regarding my post about the elusive Galofie, a strange cat-like mammal discovered in the Galofagus Islands.

Well now scientists have discovered yet another new cat-like mammal on the island of Borneo!

CLICK HERE to read all about it:

In the dense central forests of Borneo, a conservation group has found what appears to be a new species of mammal.

WWF caught two images of the animal, which is bigger than a domestic cat, dark red, and has a long muscular tail.

As with the Galofie, a modified tail seems to be the crucial feature.

Good work, WWF! Who knew the World Wrestling Federation was so interested in new species!

Hadn't seen the Galofie -- I laughed so hard I cried! She's just priceless... and this new red lemur-like critter... wow! It's thrilling to think there are whole species of mammals we haven't yet seen! Thanks for sharing...

If only it still was WWF but at last they changed to the world wresling entertainment WWE after World Wildlife fund sued them. Im just guessing you knew which wwf it was. I am surprised that the artical did not make the abreviation clear though.

It is a BBC (British broadcasting Corporation) news site and we don't have much wrestling over here. Everyone would just know which organisation they meant.

That is really good news that they have discovered a new animal!
I didn't think there was anything left that we hadn't found and started to shove it on it's way to extinction .
