I though someone was talking about me. Then I checked the picture I'm not that good looking lol!

Thats a great find PPH thanks for putting it on.

It just goes to show there are still Animals in this world we dont know about, and yet we are still threatening their exsistance, but it is a lovey Animal to see

What an amazing nose - interesting read and a great find thanks PPH

As you say WS - there are still animals out there we know little about.

What an adorable little fellow he is, he surely looks as though he needs protecting. I do hope they find out more about him, it would be delightful to have more information. Lets hope he stays safe out their. Thanks for posting that PPH.
