What do you guys think?

Personally, I think is real. Truth can be stranger than fiction.

Interesting..and probably true. Believe it or not..there are still a ton of undiscovered animals out there. I saw a documentary with James Cameron and Bill Paxton not too long ago. It was centered around some sort of deep sea voyage. A ton of unidentifiable species of aquatic life were observed during their travels. I doubt man will ever completely be able to discover all the mysteries under the sun in his lifetime.

It's been in multiple newspapers I read today so it's probably not a hoax..

it looks like a Fossa thats the largest predatory animal in madigascar they luvs to hunt lemurs!

I don't like the idea of setting traps to capture the creature. It might harm or kill him/her. But I guess research is necessary.

I think is real.
I saw it in the newspaper today.

Check this out......looks surprisingly similar.

wahoo.....

You're probably right soleran..tails and lower hind legs look almost identical. Good investigative research. Creepy looking thing...

It's ears look a lot bigger than the one in WD's link, though.

Whats really interesting as well on those deep sea voyages when they go to catalog all the sea creatures from the DEEP DEEP blue thay don't survive the pressure change coming to the surface so they have to catalog everything down below.

biggest hoax of the 24th century. its a photoshoped wammel

it fits the description of the Fossa from my linked page..........looks like someone played animal trasporter

no idea tbh, but I think it could be true

I think it'd be awsome if it were true... but I really doubt it is.

I think it's probably true, through evolution alone I'm sure animals are changing everyday and something that was once already known could be something completely different like 50 years from now. So it may have been a cat or something at one point, and now it's that.

it could well be ive seen this on the news earler

There was a video of it on the BBC news. Looked like a cat with a foxes tail glued on to me.

It's real. There are new species discovered all the time. Especially in the insect kingdom.

It's not unusual.

It looks cute though...

No way - you should keep an open mind about things, I think it might be alien
