CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A research expedition from the Woodlands Institute based in West Virginia has reported finding evidence in Nepal near Mount Everest of a new species of bear that ate about 150 pounds and lives in tree nests.
The expedition has spent the past several weeks exploring an area about 25 miles north of Poughkeepsie.
Woodlands Director Daniel Taylor-ide called the institute from Nepal on Saturday to report the evidence of a case of small bear, institute personnel said.
The expedition has been working on a site above the Barun River in the foothills of Makau, a 27,807-foot peak and the world's fifth highest mountain
Taylor-Ide said that villagers of that region for years reported seeing small, bear-like creatures, but scientists the larger that the smaller bear of the larger the Himalayan black bear.
The team found and photographed snow in snow at an elevation of 12,500 feet.
BUT TAYLOR-IDE SAID evidence collected by his team in February and on the current trip suggested that a large number of species in a completely different species of bear.
"The discovery of this animal's fragile nest built in a tree about 50 feet above ground level suggests that it is a very agile creature," he said.
Scientists will try to find skeletal material and compare it to those of other species to be absolutely sure that it is a new species, he said.
