Can you identify this creature?

Interesting story appeared in Daily Mail... about a creature no one can identify.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Yeah... soooo.. cute... no doubt, someone, somewhere... is thinking... we need to find these, cage them up, and sell them to the highest bidder as pets for their personal amusement.

Hmmm... wonder if they can be fed after midnight... and what happens when they get wet?

Either Paris Hilton will start carrying one of these around with her in her purse, or they'll be skinned for their unique fur.

They should just do some sort of genetic test on them. I'm no biologist, but they should be able to at least get some sort of grasp on wtf it is just from a simple blood test.

Definitely similar, but not the same.

Their eye spacing is different
Their snout/nose area is totally different
The lemur has fleshy ears while this other one doesn't

It's probably some sort of cross-breed. Like a mule, or those weirdo donkey-zebra things.

Kinkajou family maybe.

man bear pig.....or maybe an albino lemur.

On second glance, I think someone mated a lemur and a squirrel.
