Adorable New Critter I.D.'d

Say howdy to the olinguito:

Imagine a mini-raccoon with a teddy bear face that is so cute it's hard to resist, let alone overlook. But somehow science did — until now. 

Researchers announced Thursday a rare discovery of a new species of mammal called the olinguito. The reddish-brown animal is about 14-inches long with an equally long tail and weighs about 2 pounds. 

It belongs to a grouping of large creatures that include dogs, cats and bears...

Wow, that's a pretty large grouping. No wonder it was overlooked for so long.
