New species of rare predator found in Madagascar

According to foreign media reports, biologists of the Durell Wildlife Conservation Trust in the UK recently published a research paper saying that they have discovered a new carnivore species on the island of Madagascar. This is the first new carnivore species discovered in 24 years . This animal is named "Durell Mongoose" and is a member of the mongoose family. Its body is about the size of a cat, brown, and has spots on its body. Researchers believe that "Durell Mongoose" may be one of the most endangered carnivores in the world.

According to members of the International Nature Conservation Organization, this newly discovered carnivore is a mammal and one of the members of the mongoose family. Currently, this animal has only been found on the island of Madagascar. The researchers of the British Durell Wildlife Conservation Trust have identified this animal as a new type of carnivore.

As early as 2004, a research team of the Duriel Wildlife Conservation Trust discovered this animal for the first time in a lake on the way to inspect the bamboo lemur. At that time, the Durer Mongoose was swimming in the lake. The researchers conducted preliminary tests on this small animal, and they suspected that a new species might have been discovered and took pictures of it. Subsequently, the researchers analyzed other specimens of the brown-tailed mongoose collected in the British Museum of Natural History. The analysis results show that this animal is a newly discovered species. This is the first time a new species of carnivore has been discovered in 24 years.

Ferimala Bruno Lalesauro, a biologist at the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, was the first person to catch this animal from a lake. Lalesauro said, "We already know that there is a carnivore living in the wetlands of Lake Alautra, but we always thought it was a brown-tailed mongoose that has been found in the western rainforest. However, the skulls, teeth and claws before the two are quite different. This shows that this animal is a different species that has evolved to adapt to the aquatic environment. This is an exciting discovery. To commemorate our founder Jera De Durrell, we decided to name this animal after his name. "

However, environmentalists warn that due to agricultural expansion, pollution, and the invasion of alien species, the living environment of this animal has been greatly threatened by the Alautra Lake wetland, and the German grebe that has just been declared extinct is Disappeared from there. At present, the researchers have not formally assessed the survival status of Duriel Meerkat. However, considering their small number and the increasingly threatened living environment, this animal may be in an extremely endangered state.

The research results of the researchers are published in the journal Taxonomy and Biodiversity. Frank Hawkins from the International Nature Conservation Organization is also one of the co-authors of the paper. Hawkins said, "This species may be one of the smallest in the world and one of the most endangered species. The Alautra Lake wetland is under considerable pressure. Only urgent protective measures can guarantee This species avoids the fate of extinction. "
