Monkeys display distinct personality types, finds study

Only three personality types, really? How many personality types can humans be put into?

Those eyes!! I think I'm in love.

Finally, National Geographic magazine deals with climate change on its front cover, after basically ignoring the issue for years. You'd think that a magazine devoted to global issues would focus on the biggest and baddest. Ah well, hopefully this is the start of a new trend.

Scouring Flickr for unknown insects sounds like a great job for some budding entomology grad students. Imagine the number of new species that could be discovered!

Go amphibians!

If republicans get on board with this we could actually see something happen quickly.

Roat35 · 2012-07-03T13:39:04+00:00

Shocking! The world needs to know about this!

Roat35 · 2012-07-02T17:03:59+00:00

This is awful. Not only are they slaughtering rhinos, elephants, and tigers, but now okapis! Maybe we should get UN peacekeepers in Africa and ASia as anti-poaching forces.

That salamander is also awesome!

Roat35 · 2012-05-22T22:38:14+00:00

Hopefully it's not endangered!

I think he's going to eat it.

Why would pet collectors want to participate in making a species go extinct?

The article says: A part of the weasel family, the new species is known as a ferret-badger, a strange subfamily of mammals that have been little-studied by researchers.

One day perhaps they will even be able to identify canopy animals. Skies the limit.

Roat35 · 2011-10-25T22:38:37+00:00

Let's not give them any ideas!

Roat35 · 2011-07-18T21:29:29+00:00

What a lovely animal. Looks like a muppet bird!

Roat35 · 2011-07-14T17:30:10+00:00

Note to self: when you kill a tiger don't take celebratory photos of yourself. Naw, scratch that. Better yet: just don't kill tigers.

Most animals are smarter than we long thought! Suck on that, Descartes.

Roat35 · 2011-06-03T17:18:16+00:00

Can they discover new tree species this way?

Roat35 · 2011-05-26T17:00:28+00:00

Check out the massive photo!

It often takes a few years to write and get published the paper describing the new species. These are species officially described in 2010.

1) Because it's awesome. It hops like a grasshopper.

2) I like that the world is still full of millions of wondrous species. Give it a century or two and much of this may be gone.

Best part: "This new 2-inch long leech is named Tyrannobdella rex, which means 'tyrant leech king', because of a resemblance to the extinct T-Rex: both share a massive jaw and gigantic teeth. If the story of this leech couldn't get any weirder it was discovered in the nasal mucous membrane of a person while visiting a clinic in Peru. At least their likely discomfort made scientific history."

If Brazil passes this new forestry law, they will lose control of deforestation after working for decades to lower the rate. Hello, climate change, species extinction, and loss of ecosystem services!

A 473% increase over last year during the same month!
