In the rainforest there are new discoveries all the time. For this post find a web site with new discoveries and write a small paragraph about one of those discoveries. Please include the website you find
In a rainforest in Suriname, some of the species found were, the atelopus frog which can be recognized by its purple markings. There was also an ant species, six types of fish, and twelve dung beetles. Scientists asked for better conservation management because of hunting and illegal mining.
I saw an article About a new slug and frog found on a rain forest island thats protected by three governments. they have discovered around a hundred twenty new species since 2007 seven one of them is the ninja slug it wraps its tail around its body and lives on leaves in the rain forest. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/apr/22/new-species-borneo
In early January a new species of bird was found in the Borneo rainforest. The bird is a flowerpecker, a small, gray bird. It hasn't been given a scientific name yet because so little is known about it. Richard Webster, a biologist at Leeds University, was the one who discovered it. But Dr. David Edwards, an ecologist at the University of Leeds was the one who identified it as a new species.
In the Amazon they discovered a tree rat,the size of a large guinea-pig,it lives with monkeys in the trees of the Amazonian tropical forest, it only eats leaves and fruit.
In the Amazon Rainforest a tiny monkey species was discovered.The monkey, a type of saddleback tamarin, has been named Mura's saddleback tamarin (Saguinus fuscicollis mura) after the Mura Indians, the Amerindian ethnic group that lives in the Purus and Madeira river basins where the monkey occurs.
In the mountains of Cerro Pata de Pájaro, in the country of Ecuador, a vast variety of species have been discovered. One of these new species is a new type of gecko. This new gecko is roughly the size of an eraser on the end of a pencil.
A new carnivorous pincher plant has been discovered in the highlands of the Philippines. It is so big it can trap rats as well as insects in the its tube-like leaf structure.
A photographer in early 2010 found a bird that was unknown to mankind until then. He discovered what is now called the Spectacled Flowerpecker in the Danum Valley Rainforest in Borneo.
Two house-cat-sized primates called Titi monkeys were discovered in the central/south central Amazon. The new species will enhance our understanding of primates which will give insight to ourselves since primates are so closely related to humans. This also indicates that the Amazon is brimming with flora and fauna yet to be discovered!
In the Foja Moutains a, "Ninja Slug," was discovered. Males shoot, "love darts" at the mate they have picked. The darts are made of calcium carbonate that releases a hormone in the selected mate. This hormone makes it more likely that reproduction will occur.
In the Amazon rainforest there are new discoveries every year. thousands of them. So this means that new species are always being discovered as well as extinct. this new species of frog is just one of many new discoveries.
the new species i discovered on line is called the speckled flowerpecker bird i thing they keep finding new species because the world is very large and we only have discovered in detail a very small amount. idnit http://news.mongabay.com/2010/0114-hance_birddanum.html love alden

Dendrelaphis kopsteini is just one of the 123 new species found in the Borneo rainforest since 2007: It is a snake that has an almost flame-like neck colouration that gradually fuses into a vivid blue, green and brown pattern. When threatened it flares its nape, revealing bright orange colors.
Researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society turned up a brand-new monkey species in northwestern Brazil earlier this year. The tiny (less than 3/4-pound, or 340-gram) Mura’s saddleback tamarin (Saguinus fuscicollis) was discovered living in the Purus and Madeira river basins in the Brazilian state of Amazonas. The primate is already considered to be under threat by development in its rainforest habitat. http://www.allaboutwildlife.com/posts/newly-discovered-animal-species/4162
There is an atrocity running rampant through the forests of south America of the aqueous Nature. A feline animal has roamed these lands and terrorized little children. Be afraid. Very Afraid.
Just kidding, Theres no Lion. Its just me! So on the bright side there are these crazy Jumping spiders though that just got discovered in this region called Papua, which means in the local tounge "Olsen, Give me An A!". The spiders are sometimes poisonous and jump crazy Like.
In the rainforest of "In the heart of Borneo", the worlds longest insect has been found. This stick insect is 22 inches long, and was only one of the 123 new creatures discovered in Borneo during an 85,000 square mile conservation area set up in 2007. This insect lives in high canopies, and is known as Phobaeticus chani. This was all found by the World Wildlife Fund. A few other creatures that were found are; a flying frog that can glide for 15 yards, and a slug that fires love darts laced with hormones at its mate.

In the Amazon rainforest, an ancient city was found which researchers believe might be linked with the "Cloud People of Peru" which was a white-skinned tribe that was killed off by a disease in the 16th century. I thought it was pretty cool that they found a "city" that's hella old & once had people living there.
in a Brazilian rain forest a group of scientisits discovered 40 different species of plants and animals. I am in complete shock that there is still that much in the rain forests that we still haven't found. of the 40 new species a tree rat and a new bird were found. this is a great find for the scientists because those are rare animal groups to find new species in. I also learned that the scientists had to hide from the hungry jungle cats that found them. The group had to hide in a hollow tree and fight off the dangerous jungle cat. I find this very extrodanary that scientists such as these ones risk there lives in order to discover new things to help our human race better understand what is out there. these scientists should be rewarded a nobel prize for this great awww.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and.../article655469.ecechievement.
A couple of years back scientists found a miniature fish that is the second smallest vertebrae on the planet. It only lives in very high acidic blackwater swamps. It measures to be about a third of an long. I found this at inchhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/12/061219095311.htm
There are many new spieces of plants and animals that are being found at exponential rates worldwide. The animal that I picked that was found recently, was a snake that is named as the white lipped keelback. Obviously a carnivore it feasts on frogs and small fish, and lives near streams and rivers. This snake was found around september 27, 2007.
Many paleontologists discovered that there are some dinosaurs that lived in the Amazon Forest and only in that region. It helped paleontologists discover the evolution in our planets history. anthropologists use the amazon forest region to understand indigenous culture, life style and the use it to understand how the humans arrived in the Americas.
Over 40 new species were discovered in the amazon rainforest-including that of plants and animals. It was described as a "scientists heaven" as a particular location in the forest served to be the finding space for a majority of the discovries. When news like this is heard, it can only motivate a person to think that if discoveries of this magnitude and quantity are occuring all in one are in a few select instances, how much life is there out there that has not yet been discovered. It is exciting to believe that although we find that the knowledge we all possess today to be groundbreaking compared to the past-it makes us realize that we too one day will be part of the past and that generations to come will have so many new findings that will change not only the culture of science but of overall society.
A lung-less frog, a frog that flies and a slug that shoots love darts are among 123 new species found in Borneo since 2007 in a project to conserve one of the oldest rainforests in the world. The global conservation group World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has called for protecting the threatened species and equatorial rain forest on Borneo, the South China Sea island that is the world's third-largest and is shared by Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.

In 2008 off the Australian island of Tasmania scientists have discovered a rainforest of the deep containing 274 different species of fish, mollusks and more.One of these Australian said we might know more about the surface of Mars than the depths of the oceans on our own planet!This made me think that I cant imagine what all is hiding in our oceans waiting for us to discover them. Also on this site were some picture of the new species, one being a Marginaster seastar. It looks so cool.
In a rainforest in Suriname, some of the species found were, the atelopus frog which can be recognized by its purple markings. There was also an ant species, six types of fish, and twelve dung beetles. Scientists asked for better conservation management because of hunting and illegal mining.
