A new RadicalAnimal has just been discovered!!!!!! A recent scientific journal has indicated that scientists have coined a new species as Rhynochocyon udzungwensis, a type of giant elephant shrew. These furry critters exhibit noticeable characteristics of several animal elements. You can notice it's twig looking legs, anteater-type nose and even multi-colored fur!!! We found it amusing that scientists labeled the fur pattern as "flashy", which along with an increased size makes this species unique when being compared to other elephant shrews.Not quite as cute as the above picture is this youtube video that we found of the critter running. They call it an "elephant rat"!!!!!

Scientists hope to find more about these great creatures which were found in Tanzania's Udzungwa Mountains, where several other "new species" have been discovered in the past. You can find out more information, even plan a camping visit to this great animal refuge here!

"Rob Kalls Bottom-Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution takes a very holistic view of bottom-up thinking and action, from changes in our psychology to our systems of work, living and governance. As someone who's been working to make bottom-up economics a reality for over 30 years, this book reinforces the need for and potential of redirecting our priorities-- and resources--from the few at the top to the many at the bottom."

Anthony Flaccavento, author of Building a Healthy Economy from the Bottom Up
