Many of you will be familiar with Homo floresiensis, the diminutive humanoid whose remains were discovered in Flores, Indonesia; but did you know that Flores boasts another mystery animal which seems to be a kind of cat.  This is called by locals ngo ngoe.  Some of the locals aver it is merely a large feral cat, but others state it is a separate kind of felid.  There is also a possibility it is a leopard-cat.
