New species include a camouflaged gecko, a fanged frog and a fish called the Henamo grunter, named because it makes grunting noises from its swim bladder.

I just watched the movie “Arachnophobia” in which deadly spiders are found in a remote jungle. Makes you wonder what else is out there.

They said the giant rat had no fear of people, but giant rats coming up and staring me in the face would make me a little nervous.
To: NYer
and a giant rat, which may turn out to be the biggest in the world Has it been named yet? Seems a perfect opportunity to "honor" Ted Kennedy, previously the biggest rat in the world.

Cool discovery! We need to protect and save these new species! But the key to this, ironically enough, is to keep them away from the socialism, Nanny State, and Big Brother loving environmentalists. CAPITALISM and the application of PRIVATE PROPERTY will best defend and preserve these new discoveries.
