Undated photo of the 'Berlepsch's six-wired bird of paradise', rediscovered during an expedition to the Foja mountains in the west of New Guinea in Indonesia. Scientists said on Tuesday they had found a 'Lost World' in an Indonesian mountain jungle, home to dozens of exotic new species of birds, butterflies, frogs and plants. The U.S., Indonesian and Australian expedition took photographs of the 'Berlepsch's six-wired bird of paradise', which appears in 19th century collections but whose home had previously been unknown. The bird is named after six fine feathers on the head of the male which can be raised and shaken in courtship displays. NO ARCHIVES NO SALES REUTERS/Bruce Beehler

The Long-Beaked Enchilada. They are available in black, or as shown, a two-toned light brown top fading to a blonde under carriage.

I wonder how they'd taste smothered in some hickory barbeque sauce...

A team of scientists exploring an isolated jungle in one of Indonesia's most remote provinces said they discovered dozens of new species of frogs, butterflies and plants — as well as large mammals hunted to near extinction elsewhere.

What a bunch of BS. If new species are JUST discovered how do they know that hunting has led to near extinction? How close were they to extinction 20 years ago? Or 5 years ago? They don't have a clue because they didn't know about them. This is Dumb Science 101.

Two Long-Beaked Echidnas, a primitive egg-laying mammal, simply allowed scientists to pick them up and bring them back to their camp to be studied, he said.

The team also found wildlife that were remarkably unafraid of humans
