I saw the headline on the BBC news site this morning but didn't notice it was our very own solenodon. Thanks MrMike.

Great stuff. Just hope that BBC headline doesn't transmit itself to papers here so people think they ought to kill this really endangered species. More about the research here:

EDGE Blog Hispaniolan solenodons ? rediscovery and footage!

Love this 'They use their venom as a form of defence or to stun their prey.' Kind of a metaphor for other aspects of life here...........:cheeky:

This is fantastic, although I do have to agree with Lambada (don't I always??) that this might send campesinos into a panac mode of killing them on sight. Good grief!!

I think that the minister should be well versed in this and serve as flag bearer in the fight to preserve this unique species...
