Hence, my earlier comment on distrusting the current government of that country. Anything with ties to the current regime must be taken with a grain of salt. Which, by the way, is true with cryptozoology, don’t you think?

In 1989, the military government officially changed the English translations of many colonial-era names; among these changes was the alteration of the name of the country to “Myanmar”. The renaming remains a contested issue. Many opposition groups and countries continue to use Burma because they do not recognize the legitimacy of the ruling military government or its authority to rename the country. Various non-Burman ethnic groups choose not to recognise the name because of the association of the term Myanmar with the majority ethnic group, the Bamar, rather than for the country.

Burma continues to be recognized as the official name of the country by several nations, including Australia, Canada, France, the United Kingdom and the United States. The United Nations uses Myanmar as do the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the governments of Germany, India, Japan, and Russia. ~ from Wikipedia.

I hope if there is another primate they do find it soon. At the current rate of deforestation those snub-nose monkeys could literally be extinct within a decade. Imagine the timing, if he wasn’t able to get there now, get these pictures at just the right moment these animals may well have come and gone without zoology ever even knowing they existed. Literally out with a whimper. Someone else could have gone there a few years in the future, seen the same bone and fur fragments, heard the same reports from the villagers and searched in vain. To me that is both sad and frightening.
