That's brilliant. I'm slightly disappointed there aren't any dinosaurs, mind.

I was going to start this thread. Specifically for this ugly wee thing:

and also this silly looking bird:

Really, though, there's not that much world left that people haven't discovered yet, is there?

The ocean, ailsa. The ocean.

I think the Lovecraftian beasties lurking in the abyssal depths would disagree with you there.

how pissed off is that kangaroo thing to have been found?

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 23:03 (twenty years ago)

Oh, look, it's another ugly amphibian...look at it! It's like a turd with legs and eyes and things!

I thought that this thread would've been about something else.

Those were the New Yardbirds I posted back there. Good Fucking Grief.

I am awfully excited by these discoveries. So many new species of frogs in about 800thousand hectares is amazing. And a huge white scented rhododendron, and heaps of other plants. It would be like the first naturalists visiting America. I used to think that there were not many truly new terrestrial places left to see but now I am not so sure.

― isadora (isadora), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 00:12 (twenty years ago)

there are probably several undiscovered new species evolving under my sink

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 00:19 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, this unexpectedly lifted my mood earlier in the day.

Cone snails aren't a new discovery, but they have lead to a lot of new discoveries about conotoxins and their potential uses.

― Abbott (Abbott), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 00:31 (twenty years ago)

Cone snails are pretty, too....and scary as fluck.

The researchers spent nearly a month in the locality, detailing the wildlife and plant life from the lower hills to near the summit of the Foja range, which reaches more than 2,000m in elevation.

"It's beautiful, untouched, unpopulated forest; there's no evidence of human impact or presence up in these mountains," Dr Beehler told the BBC News website.

"We were dropped in by helicopter. There's not a trail anywhere; it was really hard to get around."

He said that even two local indigenous groups, the Kwerba and Papasena people, customary landowners of the forest who accompanied the scientists, were astonished at the area's isolation.

"The men from the local villages came with us and they made it clear that no one they knew had been anywhere near this area - not even their ancestors," Mr Beehler said.

The team says it did not have nearly enough time during its expedition to survey the area completely and intends to return later in the year.

Amazing stuff. I wonder what they will find when they go back and check out the places they didn't make it to this time.

It makes me sad, to think that in a hundred years it'll all be stripped away most likely...

Enjoy the world while it lasts!

"Ya know what this place could use? Some Nile River Perch!"

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 02:35 (twenty years ago)

I was also wondering about how big a fraction what they found represents of what is there. And, how can I get on the next trip?

However, I can't see it being developed: it may survive by continuing to be extremely isolated, wet and difficult to get around. However the exotic pests might get there and that would be terrible. They should start eradication of potential threats in the hinterland now, but who's got that kind of money?
