New species roundup
Over at Cryptomundo, Loren Coleman posted a photo roundup of animal species announced as new discoveries in the last few weeks. Seen here at left, two new species of wobbegong sharks discovered off the south west coast of Western Australia. At right, a Sri Lankan mouse-deer that isn't newly discovered, but is very elusive. This is a rare photo of the animal in the wild. I love being reminded how much we don't know about our natural world. Link to "New Species Photo Roundup", Link to "New Mouse-Deer" post
