New species in Papua New Guinea
According to treehugger.com, Papua New Guinea is the place to go if you're interested in discovering new, previously unknown species. Researchers back from a two month long exploration of the inner depths of the Papua New Guinea forests, reported that over 200 different species were recorded that were previously unknown to science and the world. Dozens of new frog species, nine new plants, two new mammals, and nearly 100 new insects, were some of the amazing discoveries recorded from the exploration.
The Tube-nosed fruit bat (in picture above), Pink-eyed katydids, carnivorous plants, and a unique species of tree-dwelling ants were among SOME of the newly discovered animals. The Scientists suggest that further explorations into the depths of the mysterious forests of Papua New Guinea will uncover even MORE undiscovered species. These discoveries are so important to the knowledge of wild life biologists and scientists around the world. These new findings increase scientist’s knowledge of the wildlife of the world in general, and unlock many other possibilities for new species.
I admire the scientists who are in the wild uncovering these mysteriouse new animals. When they discover new species like this, it could give hints and information on important issues and debates such as theorys of evolution. These discoveries also could conclude that new species are being CREATED. I think these new discovered animals are awesome, and I hope there will be more.

First, I love the source-that is great!
ReplyDeleteAlso, the new tube nose fruit bat is probably the cuttest thing I've ever seen. I didn't even think I liked bats until today.
I also hope they continue to find more new species and let us know about them!!!
If new species are being created, then to all the anarchists out there, "HAH!" If not, well then, its still proves that NATURE(or God) works in mysterious ways to improve Earth.
