Lion Dog Baffles Biologists

Lion Dog Baffles Biologists

In a breathless press conference this morning, a team of scientists in Borneo announced that they believe they have discovered a previously unknown species of dog.

“As you can see from the photo,” said Dr. Gillian Sturbridge, “the animal exhibits the facial structure of a common yellow lab, but the mane of an African lion.”

According to scientists, this would be an extremely unlikely combination, given that cats and dogs split on the genetic tree tens of millions of years ago.  That’s why what is now being called the “Bornean Lidog” is such an exciting discovery.  

The Fluffington Post will be bring you more on this exciting event as it becomes available.
