I was browsing the Internet today and ran across some newly found species of animal. It got me to wondering what is out there that we don't know about? I found a website that has the newest species, as of Feb 2009. This fish, Jakarta, supposedly bounces off the ocean floor like a rubber ball.
Here is a you tube display of some of the newest ocean species. It's worth watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blB5neeJHZI
I also found a web page that had photos of the newest frog that they have found and the latest spider. I will share them.
This is the newest jumping spider. I just thought that it was cool. I also didn't realize that there were over 500 species of jumping spiders. That's too many. I read that the blood moves to their legs, making it able for their legs to help them jump up to 80 times the size of their body. I am not sure how far that is, but I figure its far enough to keep me at a distance. I am terrified of spiders, but appreciate them more than they probably appreciate me.
This little green tree frog with the big black eyes, he is the newest of the family found. Frogs I can handle, more power to finding all of them they can. Besides look at this guy, he is cute. My favorite tree frog is the red eye tree frog. The frogs colors are fantastic.
There were other species of animals found, supposedly just 50 species of spiders alone. They were officially declared on March 25, 2009. So most of them are probably the more recent ones found on the web. If anyone has any species to share with me, please do. I find all the new discoveries amazing. How could they have lived amongst us and not have been discovered? People have basically tracked every part of the land and ocean we can. We have invaded territory of animals and made some extinct, so for them to say they found one no one has yet to see. That is great news for me.
