It was first described as a separate taxon in 1916 but was not considered a valid species until it was examined more closely in 1994. It measures only about 10–13 cm, has a foul scent, especially when threatened, a lifespan of about 2 years and a gestation period of about 30–35 days (Wikipedia, general species account).
