So what do you think of olinguitos?

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,368]

In case you haven't heard there's been a new species of carnivore mammals discovered called olinguitos. It's been described to look like a mix between a teddy bear and a house cat. I kinda wish I could keep one as a pet. :/

And here's the lecture they made about it in the Smithsonian.

I would totally keep that as a pet, as long as it doesn't try to eat me. That is definitely a very cute new species, but not so cute when we find out what their prey is.

Well they're quite the cuties that's for sure, but I think I'd rather wait until they start to become domesticated before buying one as a pet (duh). Anyways, it's pretty cool that we've found out a new species.....and that's all that I can really say about this new species.

That actually sounds kinda cute. I still would never own one as a pet even if they were domesticated because this little guy would probably kick my butt multiple times a day. Can't have any animal one upping me.

They look really cute, but I'm not sure if I'd want one as a pet. Still happy to see new species are being found nowadays though and hopefully they'll soon be in the animal books.

AWWW IT'S SO CUTE

*Sees its razor sharp claws*

You want to keep that as a pet?! Ah hell nah, I wouldn't let that thing anywhere near my face D:

I like my body in its proper, non-maimed state, thank you.

I learned about olinguitos in a current events discussion in my US History class yesterday. It's always awesome when we discover a new animal - it's another reminder of how much there is out there, even on our own planet, that we have not discovered yet. Plus, they are very cute.

 

I don't know if I'd want to have one as a pet, though. Appearances can be deceiving - it may be a dangerous animal.

Came for the kawaii, was not disappointed. I don't think I'd want to have one hanging around as a pet though.

 

Anyway, this is the first I've heard of olinguitos but the discovery of a new species is a bit exciting, isn't it? I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more info on the oliguitos in the coming months/years.
