John Fa, a scientist with the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust has
reported finding the first new carnivore order to be discovered in 24
years.. in Madagascar.

Salanoia durrelli is a marsh dweller, with large paws for paddling
and mighty teeth for crushing shellfish. " It's almost like a ferret
becoming an otter," John Fa said.

Personally, I think Zoo realized the mighty teeth of Mouse, and dumped
her over the rice fields and wet land habitat of Madagascar.

Heaven help the wild life there.
