My anaconda don't. Want. None. Unless you got. Buns. Hun. And here is the lineup: "Ranitomeya amazonica", a frog with an incredible burst of flames on its head, and contrasting water-patterned legs. 'Apistogramma baenschi,' a new fish species is seen here. 'Ephebopus cyanognathus,' a new spider species is seen here. 'Nymphargus wileyi,' a new frog species is seen here. 'Anaconda boliviana (Eunectes beniensis),' a new snake species is seen here. 'Anolis cuscoensis,' a new lizard species is seen here. 'Pyrilia aurantiocephala i,' a new bird species is seen here. Hmm, I dunno about the 1 new species discovered each 3 days thing. If that were true, I'd be updating the new animals discovery index twice a week, and that's not happening. I do believe that there are a lot of undiscovered species in the Amazon, however, probably more than we imagine. I am glad the world is filled with yummy animals!
3653 (leap years) / 1220 (species) = 1 new one about every 3 days. That's animals and plants though, and I assume the researchers don't upload their data every time they find something new. I'd expect batch jobs when they submit all their data from an expedition. To Volpone - if humans make a species that has survived a few million years "crappy" is that a good thing showing evolution works or a bad thing showing human impact on the environment?
We might not have so many cool animals in the near future. 1/5th of all animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-11630355 We are destroying habitat at an ever faster rate, at some point we will have to slow down and stop. Unless we want to end up on the endangered list that is.
Bah. I thought you guys believed in the theory of evolution. The weak die off, the strong survive, leaving us all the better for it.
Meh, troll slightly harder - I assume you're smart enough to know better as you're posting in techforge. Good RR jab though.
