Many of you got it, but some of you were looking at something else entirely… The Nilgiri Marten has a golden chest, which you can just make out on the far right…
They are cute-looking things, almost second Honorary Cats (though I wouldn’t want to get in a fight with one), as this photo by N. A. Nazeer from Wikipedia shows:
I’d never have guessed there was such a colorful mustelid!
Me either!!
Ah. Having only scanned the headlines, I was expecting a bird.
Looks very like a pine marten.
I found it, though never saw any of the gold. What a gorgeous critter!
My first thought as well. Extremely high cuteness quotient.
Yeah, me three!
I still can’t really see it. Thanks for the other photo though- a handsome little beastie. Those paws look formidable.
