Scientists Discover New Snub-Nosed Monkey Species in Myanmar
Scientists surveying an area of Myanmar have discovered a new species of monkey:
"Scientists surveying in the area initially identified the so-called snub-nosed monkey from skin and skulls obtained from local hunters. A small population was found separated from the habitat of other species of snub-nosed monkeys by the Mekong and Salween rivers. The total population has been estimated at just 260-330 individuals...Local hunters reported the presence of a monkey which did not match any description of species previously identified in the area. After further investigation in the north eastern state of Kachin, experts found a small population of previously undiscovered black monkeys with white ear tufts and chin beards, prominent lips and wide upturned nostrils. The image above is not an actual photo but a digital reconstruction based on descriptions...The new species has been named the Burmese snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus strykeri)."
It's a big and very rare find. The image above is a digital reconstruction based on skin and skull evidence.




... looks like MJ.

Real or not, that is a picture of Michael Jackson's actual biological child!
Okay, but only if his face were real to begin with.

Did Michael Jackson and Bubbles procreate?

They should name it 'Bubbles.'

I knew Michael wasn't dead, but this is the price you pay for being MJ.
