Market fare is major rodent find

A completely new family of rodents has been recognised to take account of a rat-like creature from Laos. The animal has long whiskers, stubby legs and a tail covered in dense hair and was on sale in a hunters' market… Known by locals as Kha-Nyou, the rodent is said to be a nocturnal vegetarian that prefers the cover of the forest.
An entire new family of mammals: amazing.
