Often, attention is focused on species nearing extinction.

Next are those that are newly discovered.
But are these "older" species that have been around a while?
Or are NEW species evolving all the time? And if so, how frequently?

Some day, if you are king, there may be a monkey named after you. Isn't that special.

confirmed they are new species.

Attn: FR Biologists

How do you confirm a new species, rather than just a different varity?

If they can breed with the group across the river,
they're not a different species even if they look different.
So how does the biologist determine they are a truely different species?
DNA?

Personally, I would have named them after Daschle and Gephardt.
