Weird

So a live rodent has been discovered that was thought to have been extinct for 11 million years--'a docile, squirrel-sized animal with dark dense fur and a long tail but not as bushy as a squirrel's' that 'waddles like a duck with its hind feet splayed out at an angle — ideal for climbing rocks'.

But apparently this wasn't the first specimen of the rodent that has been discovered; it was just thought to be a new species:
'The long-whiskered rodent was branded as a new species last year when biologists first examined dead specimens they found being sold at meat markets.

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it's not something you're going to find on special at Kroger or Superfresh.
