new animal species

PREAMBULE

This time I want to turn briefly from hal2-smelling mystery, legend, cryptid, etc. and more admiring incredible natural wealth, and one of them is the world's fauna. Post this time just a fling just because I have yet to find topics of interest and a convenient time, so do not expect this post is long.

Back to the topic of the article ...

The more modern developments today we increasingly forget the natural surroundings, even the less interested orang2 a natural wealth and beauty. The proof is not a lot of people (perhaps very few) who knows that many animals spesies2 increasingly towards extinction of each month, sample the blue whale population continues to decline from hundreds of thousands now living, another example of the Galapagos kura2 who lived a tail (definitely a few people who know will this). This is the proof that our awareness of nature is much reduced. Fortunately there pihak2 conscious and willing to act immediately to save this spesies2.

Ok, forget the sad story hewan2 the verge of extinction. Nature is trying to balance human ulah2. Behind the hewan2 population to extinction, almost every month a new species was also found. Even some of the species found are estimated to have been extinct species that dozens, even hundreds of years ago. Just add our insight knowledge follows some of her animals.

NEW Species

New StringRay



A Stingray (stingrays) species only recently discovered this month in the Ningaloo Marine Park, Western Australia. The researchers who conducted a survey as part of a project led by the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in collaboration with scientists from CSIRO.

Pari, who were classified into size Neotrygon sp found an average wingspan of 20cm and 40cm, compared with santaray (other stingray species) then the size of these rays is small. It is estimated that in addition to this there are several species Stringray else will be found in the oceans Ningaloo.

New Changed-Color Frog



This new species comes from one of our islands, namely Papua. This frog's body color can berubah2 according to circumstances like a chameleon. The color can be changed from the dark (left picture) to a nearly transparent (picture right). Ability to change skin color has never been observed in other frogs jenis2.

A researcher named Dr. Fred Kraud from Bishop Museum in Hawaii who found the frog. Once identified, these unique frogs eventually were classified into Oreophryne Ezra because basically a shiny black color with bright yellow spots. "I have never found an example like this the world's frogs," he said.

According to him the possibility of this frog frog skin contains poisons such as 'poisoned frog skin'. Until now still do research to find answers to why the skin of this frog can turn like a chameleon, but do not have the structure of the skin like a chameleon.

Harlequin Frog


This frog species thought to have become extinct, but rediscovered region of Ecuador in September last year. There are four new species of Harlequin frogs have been found.

Among the four new species of Harlequin frog above there is also a Harlequin frogs have become extinct.





The Great Swallower



This strange animal was found by a fisherman area of Grand Cayman, and published in this month. Because of problems deciding faction, temporarily animal names are taken from the condition when he was caught, that is "the Great Swallower" (great eater).

As can be seen in the picture, 'the great swallower' can eat the fish that size is almost 4x greater than his own body. According to sources, the fishermen who catch these fish are interviewed to tell her how he could capture these strange creatures.

I personally do not believe the news on this one, because it seems like a far-fetched. But I do not know because I just laymen. A more detailed explanation of this creature can not I get

New Gecko



Picture above is one of eight new species of gecko found in Lao Cai Province, Vietnam. Is assistant professor Le Xuan Canh Creature from the Institute of Ecology and Resources which had found a new species of gecko in his expedition.

This is the third time a new species of gecko found in the past year in northern Vietnam. In Vietnam, forest conservation expedition has discovered eight new species and three have been identified. Goniurosaurus catbaensis and Goniurosaurus huulienensis are a few of them.

Speaking of reptiles, etc., in Indonesia, precisely in Papua still keep many secrets. Last year's expedition from Conservation International found more than 50 species new lizards, insects, and frogs.

Here are the pictures







New Giant Mouse



A new mammal species discovered in the mountains of Tanzania, about two years ago. This creature looks unique and given the nickname Rhynochocyon or udzungwensis, a type of long-nosed rodents like giant rats.

That look of his face is gray, long flexible snout, large size, the color of the body such as mice, body size and structure of long legs.

"This is one of the most most exciting discoveries of my career," said Galen Rathbun told reporters, California Academy of Sciences.

New Leopard



Last month, a leopard (leopard) is unique in Malaysia recorded on camera. The first image of this leopard was published by scientists working in the forest Dermakot asylum in Malaysia. In this asylum placed a number of cameras in the woods that can automatically capture images of animals passing by, surprisingly leopard mysterious past.

Leopards are solitary and nomadic life, this leopard may accidentally come out of hiding and the camera caught asylum. This new species is now called the Sunda or Sundaland clouded leopard, though formerly called Borneo leopard. In addition to capturing images Sundaland clouded leopard, the investigators also arrested four other tiger species.
