Meet Corsica's New Mammal Species, The 'Cat-Fox’!

A new mammal has been identified on the French island of Corsica, looking like a cross between a cat and a fox. It is hoped that this “cat-fox"—which has been legendary amongst locals for generations—can now be formally identified.

The large cat had been a legend in Corsica for years, before one was accidentally caught in a chicken coop in 2008 in Olcani in the north of the French island. Quoted in Metro, Chief Environmental Technician of the French Forest and Hunting Office (ONFCS), Pierre Bendetti said:

“We believe that it’s a wild natural species which was known but not scientifically identified because it’s an extremely inconspicuous animal with nocturnal habits. The cat-fox is part of our shepherd mythology. From generation to generation, they told stories of how the forest cats would attack the udders of their ewes and goats.”

The cat is different from a normal domesticated cat in a number of small ways. It is known in Corsican as the “ghjattu volpe”, the “chat renard” in French, and the “cat-fox” in English. RFI, the French current events radio broadcaster, describes it as being longer than an average cat (measuring around 90 cms) with larger ears, longer canine teeth and a black tuft on the end of its tail.

The centre has spent over 10 years trying to obtain more information on the animal. It used infrared traps to obtain hair, which established that the DNA of the “cat-fox” is different to the European wildcat on the continent. RFI reports that the ONCFS were then able to trap 16 of the creatures which live in the Asco Valley up to 2,500 meters above sea level.

The captured cats were tagged with electronic chips so that the centre could follow their movements; many of which have formed the basis for the study which was presented to the public this week. Benedetti’s aim is to see the species recognised and then protected.

The Corsican “cat-fox” is the latest animal to be discovered but there are other regular discoveries still being made, even in the mammal world. In 2005, a similar creature to the Corsican “cat-fox” was discovered in Borneo. In 2010, the BBC reported the discovery of a new carnivorous mongoose-like creature in Madagascar. In 2013, the first carnivorous mammal —olinguito (pronounced oh-lin-GHEE-toe)—to be found in the Americas for 35 years, was discovered in the cloud forests of Colombia and Ecuador.

NEW CAT! NEW CAT! NEW CAT!

egberts

hey just a heads up/warning for those of you who don’t do well dealing with the heavy subjects or videos portraying violent acts, sandyhook promise has a new gun violence school shooting PSA that is probably going to be going viral and is slated to play on television and in AMC movie theaters and it’s pretty heavy, especially at the end. I know it’s a topic that needs to be discussed but it’s not a video that everyone will be able to watch, so just a warning for those of you that might not be able to handle it.

For when you’re stuck watching like in a theater- When it begins to play, you will see kids talking about their binder or their other school supplies. When you see the boy with the skateboard, stop watching and plug your ears.

I think you should stop watching when you see this person saying “these colorful binders help me stay organized” because pretty much right after that there’s some panic inducing stuff. The entire ad is 67 seconds long.

It’s legit terrifying to watch. It hits you out of nowhere and I know that this is important for people to understand but I have anxiety and this just makes my fear of school shooters worse

It’s called “Back-To-School Essentials” on Youtube. Dark themes to watch out for plus timestamps:

Lock Down Drill (background) - 0:06

Panic - 0:12

Screaming - 0:17

Gunshots - 0:31

Blood - 0:33

0:39 - 0:55 - a girl texts her mom “i love you” in a bathroom stall as she’s stalked by an intruder

very-virgil

Boosting this because I saw it came up on insta and without knowing what it was i played it and ended up having a break down over its ending. It’s an extremely important topic but also…. extremely hard to watch……..

magical-art-dad-deactivated2021

It’s going around Tumblr now too, just so you’re all prepared

pheonix-inside

I watched it when it first started going around and it made me incredibly anxious. Heads up to anybody who needs a heads up.

darkandlightsides

The first time I watched it I legit felt a panic attack start. If I wasnt on the call with someone to help me before it got into a full blown thing, it would of been much worse for me- please dont watch this unless you can stomach it
