Scientists have rediscovered a long-lost species of mammal described as having the spines of a hedgehog, the snout of an anteater and the feet of a mole, in Indonesia’s Cyclops Mountains more than 60 years after it was last recorded.

    The species has only been scientifically recorded once before, by a Dutch botanist in 1961.

    Wonder if anyone believed them at the time (especially after years of not finding one).
