JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Researchers in a remote jungle in Indonesia have discovered a giant rat and a tiny possum that are apparently new to science.

“It’s comforting to know that there is a place on Earth so isolated that it remains the absolute realm of wild nature," said expedition leader Bruce Beehler.

"Now we're going to helicopter in and clearcut a spot for a research centre."


The possum was described as “one of the worlds smallest marsupials.”

Sadly, now Paris Hilton wants one.
