Now, new research has pinpointed the exact variant, and it involves a gene that has previously been unknown to impact pigmentation in animals. So while there are other orange-colored mammals, the ginger cat is one of a kind.

A lot has happened since we first covered the smart, tiny HitchHiker camper pod from Tusca Outdoors. The biggest thing is that it's now a part of Redneck Outdoor Products, a Missouri company specializing in hunting blinds. It's also been renamed the Freedom Camper. Most importantly, though, it's now available in a lighter, sleeker version that fits trucks as small as the Ford Maverick and requires just two people to lift on and off the vehicle. It creates an all-terrain-ready pickup camper or camping trailer, then quickly removes when the trip is over.
