Oct 7 2010The Resemblance Is Uncanny!: New "Yoda" Bat Discovered In Papua New Guinea
A bat that allegedly looks like Yoda has been discovered in Papua New Guinea. Personally, I don't see the resemblance. It looks like a flying f***ing orc if you ask me. Well, I guess there's only one way to settle this rationally: BURN DOWN THE FOREST -- LET'S SMOKE 'EM OUT!
A tube-nosed fruit bat with an appearance reminiscent of the Star Wars Jedi Master Yoda has been discovered in a remote rainforest.
The bat, along with an orange spider and a yellow-spotted frog are among a host of new species found in a region of Papua New Guinea.More than 200 animals and plants were revealed for the first time after two months of surveying in the rugged and little-explored Nakanai and Muller mountain ranges last year.
The findings included two mammals, 24 species of frog, nine plants, nearly 100 new insects including damselflies, crickets and ants, and around 100 spiders.
What I want to know is who's responsible for starting this whole, "it looks like Yoda" nonsense. Because that bat looks nothing like Yoda. Shit, I've seen cats that look more like Yoda. And let me tell you: those were some ugly-ass cats. None of which could use the Force. But one did walk up to its litterbox, put its two front paws in, and then shit on the floor next to it, so that one was close.
Hit the jump for one more closeup of the look-alike in question.
Thanks to Miss Bowser, who once discovered a slug that looked like Jabba but before she could run inside and grab her camera some neighborhood kid salted the poor bastard. Now it looks like a dried boogie.

That's it, either you're a good or your readers are, GW.

So...it looks like Yoda because it has...ears?
at least it's Star Wars related. Otherwise this story would bore me to shit, and possibly move me to acts of rage and violence.

In the upcoming Star Wars reboot teenage Han and Chew rescue teenage Leia and defeat teenage Jabba by pouring salt all over him. Or sugar. It's sweeeeet (fist pump)!

It looks like Yoda in that it looks like Yogurt (from Spaceballs) that was meant to resemble Yoda.....

LOL @ the litterbox cat
Yoda doesn't have a 'tube nose'. It looks more like Shrek.
13. Dy7lan - October 7, 2010 4:10 PM
... meh.

Doesn't resemble Yoda. End of story.

If it's going to be compared to a fictional character, I think they missed the mark with Yoda.
It's obviously Master Splinter.
16. Kirsten (Results Not Typical Girl) - October 7, 2010 4:55 PM
Shrek for the win.

What the hell... 200 new species of animals and plants? Damn, it's like for every one we supposedly wipe off the face of the planet, three more pop up!
We're never gonna' win at this rate. Time to take it up a notch, people.

@20 - Youtube will surely delete your video soon. I flagged it because taking advantage of your visually impaired grandmother by sticking your cock in her hand is not cool. and the fact she has parkinson's and you ejaculated on her face is doubly not cool man. may god have mercy on your soul.

Compare this to a classic gremlin (or any firsttard's mom) and you'll get the true look-a-like.
25. O. Logan - October 8, 2010 11:44 AM

If we have to lump this poor creature into the Star Wars canon, it looks more like a tiny flying tauntaun to me.
27. atheistgirl - October 8, 2010 3:24 PM
That bat looks nothing like Yoda. Whoever decided that must be blind or stupid.
