I remember reading this article 13(!) years ago and learning about the real-life origin of my favorite pokemon and perpetual obsession, Manaphy.

Cliones are actually even more neat than this article gets into (not that it doesn't already make them sound cool as heck of course); certain species can survive for up to six months without eating off of fat reserves, for example. I'd love to see these little guys get popular in the west because they're actually pretty metal for how small and prey-like they seem, while also being, you know, very, very, very cute.
