New Species Discovered


A student sent me a link to an article discussing the recent species discoveries made in the Mekong. One of them is the Laotian rock rat pictured here, which I blogged about when it was first discovered. Again, it's nice (but unfortunately rare) to hear some positive news concerning biodiversity.

How many rocks could a rock rat rock if a rock rat could rock rocks?

For those of you wondering, the answer is 117, Laosian. In America however, thanks to the exchange rate, a rock rat would rock a meager 84 rocks. There you have it.
