"The Critter"
I was reading a book about the Vietnam War the other day and a section of the book referred to the portion of the war in Laos. The author of the book referenced a certain animal that one of the other Americans had as a pet. For a long time nobody knew what the animal was called until one of the people stationed there happened to see the animal "Critter" on a Laotian postage stamp with the name "Panis Auritas". I can find no information on this animal.....I did find a picture of the postage stamp but no "Critter". Can anyone help with this information search.--67.98.38.212 22:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)Benny

It looks a lot like a Pangolin to me -84.9.46.44 23:14, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * ...which is genus Manis. I suspect a typo somewhere down the line. There is such a thing as a golden pangolin (though I note it's not listed in the Pangolin article), which might well have something like Manis Auritas as its taxonomic name. Grutness...wha?  02:31, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Apparently it has been demoted to a subspecies of M. pentadactyla: M. p. auritus. Ypna (talk) 10:10, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

The Ravens
was the title of the book. There was more than one "Critter" in the program. We had a ringtailed civet cat as a mascot of the team at Luang Prabang, that we called "Critter". After an attempt to parachute-qualify him from the top of the water tower one beery night, he became a bit surly. After our first few bite wounds, we gave him to our compound guard, who used to bring him to work coiled up in an old car tire.
