“Scientists Find 3 New Species in ‘Lost World’ "
- Time Magazine
Noah Rayman, of Time magazine, published an article on October 28, 2013. The brief article, “Scientists Find 3 New Species in ‘Lost World’ ”presents to the public their discovery of a newly created “world” found in a mountain range located on Cape York Peninsula (situated on the northern tip of Queensland, Australia). On this very mountain rage is where the scientists have found a total of three new different types of vertebrate species, as announced on Monday by a university called James Cook. The Boulder-strewn rainforest was said to be the home of these lately uncovered species. Classified as a skink, a gecko (species of a lizard), and a frog, these creatures have fallen under the category of being “highly distinct”, as said by Rayman. Professional herpetologist and curator of reptiles and frogs, Patrick Couper also announces that the species found have been the most unique out of those that have reached his desk in his long, twenty-six year career. These interesting new creatures will soon be documented and posted in the monthly issue of Zootaza: a reviewed journal for animals. One may never know how many other hidden species, that have not yet been discovered, lay in the depths of the Earth.
