Perhaps that noose and it’s near-neack-breaking grip are the cause of the duck-like waddle?

I’m probably going to get in trouble here but they look like they would make awesome pets. I want one!

Wow. Nice job on their part, and it’s good to see cryptozoologists being able to actually show off a previously ‘extinct’ species…

Gotta agree with KYChaser about the posible use of a noose trap, what with the big ring of disturbed fur behind its head. Poor thing also seems to have its head stuck in that perpetually downward stare I have when I sleep on my neck wrong and get a kink.
But, that aside, an amazing find and amazing shots. Astounding finds just keep coming out of southeast Asia (which, while exciting, also says something about shrinking habitats and human encroachment).
All other commentary aside though, 11 million years is a LONG time for our little debutante to wait for her cotillion. Lazarus indeed.
