New Species

Recently, two people, one from James Cook and one from Harvard University, found three new species in Australia's Cape Melville. One was named a leaf-tailed gecko, one named a blotched-boulder frog and one named a shade skink. Below are pictures taken from CNN's website covering the story.

I think it is absolutely amazing there are still animals we have not discovered. When thinking about it, I understand how three new species could be found, but it still astounds me. Scientists have done so much to discover unknown species and places, but a vast majority of the ocean is still unexplored. I can't wait to keep reading about all the species scientists continue to discover.
