New mammal discovered!

No, it's not 12ft tall with razor sharp teeth. Although it would be far more interesting.

Still, I'm amazed everytime a new creature is discovered on earth, makes you think that if we're still only just finding species on earth - who's to say there isn't more to be found here - or elsewhere!?
