Ladies, gentle men. I would like to introduce you to the newly discovered mammal. "Olinguito"

"Imagine a mini-raccoon with a teddy bear face that is so cute it's hard to resist"

 

 

 

If you are interested, here are a few articles.

I thought this was interesting and thought the LCPDFR community wouldn't mind some cuteness. ;)

Well at least if and when it does rip you apart..

you died by cuteness.

It's so cute i'm gonna die

Maybe it's just me, but in the picture you posted, that Olinguito looks as though it is peering into my very soul, preparing to tear it to shreds with its claws, before slowly beginning to devour it while my body writhes in pain and agony.

 

Edit:  This was meant to be a sarcastic post.

​In seriousness, it's a great and important discovery.

I think it's weird they keep calling it a carnivore whenever they keep saying "it eats mainly berries" so technically it would be an omnivore like a bear.
