xiphiasSo, we've got this story.
To summarize the important points: researchers in a remote rain forest in Indonesia have found new plants and animals, including a new subspecies of rat which, in the photo, is actually pretty adorable, and which is five times the size of a normal rat.
Okay.
Did all of your brains go exactly the same place mine did? Indonesia, and giant rat?
Now, to be fair, this was found in Papua, which is pretty much the other side of Indonesia from Sumatra, but still. . .
It was a rat unknown to science!
