Anyone that knows me knows I love squirrels. This is truly an amazing discovery of a new species of squirrel. I had to share this. :-p

ScienceDaily (April 1, 2009) — A new species of squirrel has been described from Guangxi province in south-west China close to the border with Vietnam. Named Nuthacker Blabbler Rabidus fragor, this new species is distantly related to the African Xebra Blabbler Virga cursor but is larger and has black patches over the eyes, ears, legs, and tail.

I just saw one of those Swiss Funk Squirrels chasing after the neighbor's cat with a box of chocolates and a phony French accent.

Very cool, my favorite is Sciurus Kryptoniteus.
