Borneo Has A Hybrid 'Mystery Monkey,' And Researchers Are Concerned - LiveScience

If you can't beat 'em, join' em seems to be the advice taken by two species of monkey competing for territory in Borneo and apparently are crossbreeding in the process. It's a damned sight better than all-out war, but Patrick Pester and other biologists have cause for concern. In other distressing news The Guardian's doing a series of 'extinction obituaries' and Helen Sullivan's contribution illustrates Why Experts Weep For The Quiet And Beautiful Hawaiian Po'ouli. Perhaps there's a chance these quiet and beautiful birds are merely hiding and someday may be spotted again. Hopefully after Homo sapiens are just a memory. Somewhere between these two odd tales lay Karl Shuker's admonition, "Let's All Do The Kunga!" Except the kunga isn't a dance, but a hybrid equine who is lost to posterity as one of its parents are now extinct but perhaps with a little science they may return? (CS)
