New Rodent Found

A new rodent family has been found in Thailand, where it's known to locals as Kha-Nyou. The rodent is a nocturnal vegetarian, preferring the cover of the forest. It gives birth to one offspring at a time instead of a litter -- and DNA analysis suggests that it diverted from other rodents some millions of years ago. In Laos, Kha-Nyou is usually found in the food markets.
