So that is where Dick Cheney is vacationing.

I do believe the scientist on this expediation have gotten lost and are profoundly confused. Their observations can be witnessed any day of the week in DC; mainly in the immediate area surrounding Capital Hill. Nothing new in this "discovery".

Really, really fascinating. Very cool find. But, of course, they didn't EVOLVE that way. Honestly, evolution is really COOL. Creationists, get a life.

What would Tabby make of a pack of those "mice"-looking critters?

Great article, the photographs were fantastic. It's always interesting to read about new species.

Thanks Huff Po for this info!

People would LOVE to see a Science & Education section on Huff Po alongside Business, Entertainment, etc.. Technology stories could also go under this new section as well which I know readers would flock to. What better way to facilitate change than to have an active online community reading and commenting about science every day?

In fact when you think about it, is it really necessary to have separate LIVING and STYLE sections? But NO SCIENCE, EDUCATION OR TECHNOLOGY sections at all...

I'd recognize Mitch McConnell anywhere, even in this naturalistic setting in a Papua, New Guinea forest preserve.

The fanged frogs have just been hired as commentators by Faux News

Weak! How are they only going to have one photo! I want to see the mini-bears and fanged frogs!

[Soundofthunder]

Weak! Click on the link and there are the pictures whose absence has you so perturbed.

There are many of those giant rats and fanged frogs here in the US, just Google Glen Beck, Michael
Savage, Phil O'Reilly or any other conservative radio talk host.

Parallel universe?

And I thought the Giant Rat of Sumatra was just a long-winded Firesign Theater joke. Maybe we could import some of these to infest the lower floors of Washington DC hotels to wipe out the existing rat populations. That sound like a good idea, no?

ROUS's!

Fanged frogs? Cool. I bet they use the fangs to fight the tiny bears. Tiny bears. LMAO. I keep imagining Care Bears wearing rainbow and heart t-shirts.
