TALLAHASSEE, Fla."”The first pictures showing a live specimen of a rodent species once thought to have been extinct for 11 million years have been taken by a retired Florida State University professor and a Thai wildlife biologist.

The long-whiskered rodent was branded as a new species last year when biologists first examined dead specimens they found being sold at meat markets. But they had never seen a live animal until Redfield and Treesucon photographed it.

I wonder if it would taste good with a dash of Tony's creole seasoning ???

science botched that one didn't they ?

had they found 100 year old bones of one of these they'd have proclaimed it 11 million years old or some ridiculous figure like that.

stupid fools ..........

based on what ? They said its been gone for 12 million frickin years

it wasn't gone at all - they were WRONG everytime they told people that and they've been telling them that for how many decades ? And not the only animals to mysteriously come out of an 11 million year extinction either, is it ?

Science is vastly more wrong that it is right IMO

....fine lets just add science to the list of things we need to get rid of, along with muslims, homosexuals, hispanics, and all un-american activites. [:-]

Calling science 'stupid'......why the taliban couldn't have put it any better!

BRP, have these guys been phoning you at all hours again? Been gone for 12 million years? holy smokes it musta been homesick eh?

Dam pesky scientists messing up your sleep, ask them politely again to quit harassing you....LOL...if that doesn't work use call blocking...

If you want I can phone and ask them and then try to arrange a cut off of funding for lying to us....how dare they twist things so...

Let's see no record of it's typeexisting except for some fossil of an 11 million year old predecessor, and now a real live one ? Yeah that could happen, seeing how they probably don't visit that part of the world too often...but the natives were munching laotian rock rat for suppa for as long as they can remember...is science not relevant toa given point intime?

I bet some rodent scientist wet his drawers on this discovery...I bet they even went out andbought one hanging from thelocal meat stand,got drunk and made some notesd, thenbought a pit bull puppy...

Good one!!!

BRP The biggest difference between you and scientist is not only will they admit they are wrong about soemthing, they will come right out and say it!

I know I'll be glad to not get anymore calls at dinner time reminding me what science has been saying about these things.

That's what I love about America. You cannot make us happy. We will bitch about everything.

"The government was wrong! They should have been right!"
"Science was wrong! Well, they can't always be right."

I could go on and on.
