What do you get when you cross a Teddy Bear with a Housecat?
You get a 2-pound, big-eyed, tree-dwelling carnivore from South America and it is called an olinguito.
The Smithsonian Institute has announced the discovery of a previously unknown carnivore, the first such species to be discovered in the American continents in 35 years. It is a native of the cloud forests of Ecuador and Colombia.
The olinguito has orange-brown fur and large, brown eyes. It is a member of the same family as raccoons, coatis, and kinkajous.
