It also just made the list of things that I want to uncontrollably hug and never let go. I mean my self-control is unrivalled, but I can be a hug monster.
Without further ado, meet the Olinguito:
So, this little ball of adorable is described as a cat-teddy bear hybrid.
Yep, and it roams the treetops of the Andean mountains in Ecuador.
The nocturnal Olinguitos belong to the Olingo family. Olingos look like this:
For the past ten years, scientists have been semi-privy to their existence, but they've only recently identified the little cuddlebug.
The Olinguitos are different from the Olingos because their smaller bodies are covered in precious, thick red fur.
And, they've got larger lovable heads, and bigger chump-chump (I mean teeth). And, even though they're carnivorous, they most likely chump-chump on fruits and figs; with the occasional lizards (you know, when it's being naughty and cheating on its diet).
This little guy is native to the small Ecuadorian forest, and this forest (in South America), its home, is being destroyed by humans and development.
Roland Kays, one of the researchers of the discovery squad said this about the find:
Ultimately, if the Olinguito could talk, then this would be the discovery of the century. But, it'd also be frightening beyond all belief because the Olinguito would replace all men. Lemme finish. It'd attract women with its cutie-cutie looks, and then woo them into submission with sweet nothings whispered upon sexy latin accents. That'd be game over, Men!
