The Idaho National Guard has been plenty busy of late, what with its largest deployment in history under way. But now comes word that the Guard has discovered a new species of wildlife – never seen before – on its training site in southern Idaho.

“This animal, from all accounts never seen before anywhere else in the world, has been found south of Boise on U.S. Bureau of Land Management land in the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation area, some of which is under the stewardship of the Idaho National Guard,” according to a media advisory from Lt. Col. Tim Marsano, the Idaho Guard’s public affairs officer.

The Guard will hold a news conference tomorrow at Gowen Field to announce the discovery and show video of the critter.
