sofia: indeed, fact is it's a very Chinese/tibet issue

basdini: What is so insulting about calling Vancouver a Chinese state? I mean it makes it more dangerous to drive once you're there... but other than that?

Well in the title I meant that China thinks we care about dividing China. Since that's what the Dolly Llama wants...

I don't honestly think that many non-chinese person in Canada even know that this was an issue.

that'd be hilarious, if the probes brought life, then we discover that life...

An entirely new species of cat has been revealed. The clouded leopard found on the south-east Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra is as genetically distinct from its mainland cousin as lions are from tigers, say scientists.

"For over 100 years we have been looking at this animal and never realised that it was unique," said Stuart Chapman, coordinator of a WWF programme that aims to preserve the vast rainforests in a region known as the Heart of Borneo.
The new cat, now dubbed the Bornean clouded leopard and given the species name Neofelis diardi, is darker than the mainland clouded leopard, Neofelis nebulosa. It also has slightly different markings on its pelt. But the real differences between the two species are in their genes.

"Genetic research results clearly indicate that the clouded leopards of Borneo should be considered a separate species," says Stephen O'Brien, head of the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity at the US National Cancer Institute.

O'Brien and colleagues ran DNA tests on the two cats, and found about 40 major differences between them. By comparison, there are 56 major genetic differences between lions and the common leopard.

The researchers believe the two species of clouded leopards diverged about 1.4 million years ago. Their conclusions are supported by new studies of the skin coloration and fur patterns, conducted by biologists at the National Museums in Scotland (NMS).
Double stripe

"The moment we started comparing the skins of the mainland clouded leopard with the leopard found on Borneo, it was clear we were comparing two different species," says Andrew Kitchener, from NMS. "It's incredible that no one has ever noticed these differences."

The island clouded leopard – believed to number between 5000 and 11,000 in Borneo and between 3000 and 7000 in Sumatra – has small, spotted cloud markings and a double stripe down its back. Its fur is greyer and darker than that of its mainland cousin.

The mainland clouded leopard is found from Nepal to southern China and throughout south-east Asia. It has large cloud markings with fewer spots inside them, only a partial dorsal stripe and tawny-coloured fur.
Leopard heart

According to WWF, the Bornean leopard is the island's main predator. It feeds on monkeys, small deer, birds and lizards. Its canine teeth are proportionally larger than those of any other cat.

It is spread across most forested areas, from coastal areas to interior mountain ranges, but prefers dense lowland and hillside rainforest where its natural prey is most abundant.

Its last great forest home is the Heart of Borneo, a wild mountainous region of 220,000 square kilometres – five times the size of Switzerland – in the centre of the island. Borneo is divided between the nations of Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam, and, in February 2007, the three governments pledged to protect the Heart of Borneo.

In December, WWF published a report saying dozens of new animal, fish, plant and tree species had recently been found on Borneo. The group says the island is one of the world's last frontiers for biodiversity but is under threat from deforestation.

humongous

they should fucking pay for it anyway considering Vancouver is a frickin' chinese state

from what I've been told.. if it's worse than Toronto, it's gotta be 99% asian

high quality journalism for sure :P

oh yaz? then what does an alien look like?

Aliens were responsible for a series of unexplained fires in fridges, TV’s and mobile phones in an Italian village, according to an Italian government report.

Canneto di Caronia, in northern Sicily, drew attention three years ago after residents reported everyday household objects bursting into flames.

TV news footage at the time showed electrical appliances as well as cookers, a pile of wedding presents and furniture smouldering.

Dozens of experts including scientists, electrical engineers and military boffins, arrived in the village 60 miles east of Palermo to investigate the phenomenon.

Arson was quickly ruled out and at one stage an amazed scientist was interviewed after he described how he saw an unplugged electrical cable burst into flames.

Locals were quick to blame supernatural forces and at the time the Vatican’s chief exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth backed up their fears and said: "I’ve seen things like this before. Demons occupy a house and appear in electrical goods. Let’s not forget that Satan and his followers have immense powers."

Now in an interim leaked report published by several Italian newspapers it has emerged that the Civil Protection Department has concluded the most likely cause was "aliens".

The report was ordered by the Italian government and brought together dozens of experts including a NASA scientist. Their two year investigation has cost an estimated £1 million.

According to the report the fires were "caused by a high power electro magnetic emissions which were not man made and reached a power of between 12 and 15 gigawatts."

The report also detailed a possible UFO landing close to the village, citing "burnt imprints which have not been explained were found in a field."

Francesco Mantegna Venerando, Sicily’s Civil Protection chief who coordinated the report, said: "This is not the final report. We are still working on our conclusions and this has been leaked.

"We are not saying that little green men from Mars started the fires but that unnatural forces capable of creating a large amount of electromagnetic energy were responsible.

"This is just one possibility we are also looking at another one which involves the testing of top secret weapons by an unknown power which are also capable of producing an enormous amount of energy."
