'New' Mammal Species Found..

My Initial Thoughts:
"Lo-rez pictures does not a good classification make" - Yoda as a mammalogist.

But, based on the picture, I think the hind legs are too long for a civet. I don't have too much experience with asian mammals, so I don't really know. The eyes are definitely binocular and large. This isn't exactly civet/mongoose like either. Though some civets have larger(ish) eyes. I think it is the eyes that initially suspect a lemur/primate/protoprimate like mammal, but I also think the quality of the pictures are horrible and it's very hard to tell.
