Dwarf Cloud Rat Found!
missing for 112 years. the "missing" photo was on the sides of cows in those days
A team of Filipino and American scientists have rediscovered a highly distinctive mammal -- a greater dwarf cloud rat -- that was last seen 112 years ago. Furthermore, it has never before been discovered in its natural habitat and was thought by some to be extinct.
The greater dwarf cloud rat (Carpomys melanurus) has dense, soft reddish-brown fur, a black mask around large dark eyes, small rounded ears, a broad and blunt snout, and a long tail covered with dark hair. An adult weighs about 185 grams.
Sommelier Henrey Lee Lucat recommends: Prepare this slightly spicy and earthy rodent sauteed with mushrooms, and serve with 2005 Australian Pinot Noir, or a 2007 New York State Pinot Noir.
