A new species was discovered and named by the Smithsonian today, and my first thought was that it was a headline from the Onion

Seriously .. The Smithsonian announced a new species called and described it as cross between house cat and teddy bear...

It is also a carnivore and the first new species of carnivore found in the Western Hemisphere in over three decades

The name doesn't signify any cute qualities, and despite the fact it looks like a teddy bear may know melt people's hearts, it is advised to not buy one from your local street vendor.. Especially at Christmas. And don't feed it after midnight.
