An Olinguito is the latest species to be discovered y scientists. It's being described as a cross between a "teddy bear and a cat" - which means it should make for some hilarious olinguito memes!

However, although the idea of discovering the first new carnivore species in 35 years may sound exciting, the truth is we kind of knew about this guy a while ago...

Discovering the olinguito

Although the cuddly creature native to Ecuador and Colombia is technically a new species, it's kind of similar to the already-known

Yes, there are differences in ear-size, fur color and fur-length - but you can see how they might get mixed up.

In fact, it's recently been discovered that an olinguito actually lived in several zoos in the US during the '60s - but was mistaken for an olingo.
