New mammal discovered
The olinguito (Bassaricyon neblina) is the first carnivore species to be discovered in the American continents in 35 years.
The two-pound mammal has large eyes and woolly orange-brown fur. It is native to the cloud forests of Colombia and Ecuador, as its scientific name, "neblina" (Spanish for "fog"), hints.
