There was an article on CNN about 1000+ new species found along the Mekong River which spans Southeast Asia - Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia. It was a pretty good article and encouraging considering all the other species mankind is killing out. However as I was scanning the images I couldn't help but notice the caption for a Rat type creature that was thought to been extinct for some 11 million years. I mean this is big news! So why did they find the little critter in a food market? Whassup with that? Was he scampering for food or worse... being sold as? I think we all know the truth! Worse part is... he's kinda cute. I hope he lives another 11 million years and surpasses the existance of humans. We can be so cold.
