A Whole New World

August 10, 2009 by bb-pawprint

 Flying frogs,miniature deers and a new monkey. These animals can be thought to be part of a futuristic book. But in reality they are just three of the 353 new species that were found in the eastern Himalayas.$0$0It is unimaginable that such species can exist out there without being discovered by anyone. The flying frog has webbed feet that allows it to glide when it is falling, the miniature deer is said to be about 60-80 centimeters in height and the new monkey is a new species of macaque. Also a rare species of earthworm, like creatures called caecilian, were found.$0$0There has been deforestation, extreme climate changed and illegal poaching which is said to be causing the change in these species. The Himalayas is home to a wide variety of species and they’re still some that are unknown to the world. Not only animals, but different plants have also been found in the region.$0$0This leads to the question of how many other species can be found. It also may lead to a gateway of trying to find other creatures that have been said to be mythical like the Loch Ness monster. It does not seem impossible for animals to hide from people. But if there really are other species, then the number could be unimaginable.$0$0
