Wow that little guy is sooooo cute. There are so many diff. things that we have not discovered and it is sad that they may go bye bye before we even do. The rainforest and the oceans are our greatest assests. So many amazing things come from both of them.

Isn't that something?

That is fascinaing. Tiny!

I really like the little snake in the article. Its Beautiful!

Really cool article. Snail sucking snake is awesome! Love the tiny gecko.

The reason we can be pretty certain that there aren't more of these on another continent is because of the pattern of speciaition which we observe in othre animals. Each continent has it's own flora and fauna, with very few species spanning continents.
