    I remember seeing that and reading some of the articles they had on it. Seems like they were saying that it would be in the same family as the lemurs which is very interesting since the lemurs are only found on Madagascar. One article showed a shot they had of one which was taken with an IR trip camera. I think it's pretty cool really. Hopefully they will be able to find one to study and have better pics of.
