• Sumxu

語源

From a Portuguese rendering of Chinese 松鼠 (sōngshǔ, “squirrel”, literally “pine rat”). The name sumxu originally described the yellow-throated marten (Martes flavigula), but a series of mistranslations caused the name to be applied to the alleged cat or cat-like animal.

名詞

1. A possibly mythical, long-haired, lop-eared type of cat or cat-like creature, now considered extinct, if it ever actually existed.

   Synonyms: Chinese lop-eared cat, drop-eared cat, droop-eared cat, hanging-ear cat
