The Real James Bond

James Bond and an Odd Hispaniolan Mammal

A Science Times section in The New York Times earlier this year featured an article about a Solenodon, an incredible creature native to the West Indies.

As Veronica Greenwood wrote: “About the size of a guinea pig, it has a long, hairless snout, sharp little teeth and, to top it all off, venom-laced saliva. ”

The question is, what does this creature — related to hedgehogs, moles and shrews — have to do with the real James Bond?

Stay tuned till tomorrow.
