Snapshot of a New Species?One of two photographs of the mysterious animal, taken at night by an automated camera on Indonesian Borneo in 2003. WWF ecologist Stephan Wulffraat, who discovered the creature, believes it lives in trees during the day and comes down at night to hunt.


Researchers from the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) may have made the extremely rare discovery of a new species of mammal in the dense forests of central Borneo, the organization said Tuesday.

The animal discovered is larger than a cat and neither the Bornean Forest officials nor the naatives could recognize the animal.
