| At least one olinguito from Colombia was exhibited in several US zoos during the 1960s and 1970s, the researchers said. |
|
| A decade ago, Helgen and his team began the search for the olinguito and their journey took them to South America. |
|
| The olinguito is mostly active at night, eats fruit as well as meat, rarely leaves the trees, and has one offspring at a time. |
|
| The result found the olinguito to be the first new carnivore species to be discovered in the Western Hemisphere in 35 years. |
|
| Researchers announced Thursday a rare discovery of a new species of mammal called the olinguito. |
|
| The olinguito, one of science's recently discovered species, is part of the same family as raccoons, coatis, and kinkajous. |
|
| The woolly-furred olinguito, which weighs 2lb, is related to raccoons and coatis and lives in the cloud forests of Colombia and Ecuador. |
|
| It took 10 years to discover the olinguito, which began with the team completing a comprehensive study of the olingo family. |
|
| A fuzzy fog-dweller with a face like a teddy bear, the olinguito is the first carnivore discovered in the Western Hemisphere in more than three decades, a new study says. |
|
| Specimens of the animal, called the olinguito, are found in many museums. |
|
| In the world of entomology this new species can be only compared in its rare characteristics to the Olinguito. |
