I love new species. Now we have to work on keeping the others.

Yes, it definitely looks like a fox. Thanks for the clip.

Did you notice that the nostrils have extended out and separated? I wonder what advantage that provides?

Cool! Great clip. I love Nat'l. Geographic.

It looks like a fox AND a bat, or box. Fat?
