Monday Mammal: Return to Borneo

Unfortunately, there was no "Monday Mammal" yesterday and there will be none this week - I am unfortunately too busy to put together a decent post what with catching up after SICB.

However, as an update to last week's post on the mystery mammal from Borneo, you could do much worse than check out these two posts by Darren Naish. (The posts are newer than mine, but we were both posting independently
of each other. Darren was interested in the mystery from the beginning while I only became interested in the issue after being sent a reprint of the Mammal Review paper by my good friend and collaborator, Andrew Kitchener).
