Over 1,000 Species Discovered In The Greater Mekong In Past Decade

A rat thought extinct for 11 million years and a hot-pink, cyanide-producing dragon millipede are among a thousand new species discovered in the Greater Mekong Region of Southeast Asia in the last decade, according to a new report by World Wildlife Fund. First Contact in the Greater Mekong reports that 1,068 species were discovered or newly identified by science between 1997 and 2007 -- which averages two new species a week.

Excellent News.
It is about time some good news like this surfaced after hearing about the declining amphibian and reptile populations in the last decade.
This makes me so happy, wish I were over there doing some of the discovering.
