When is bow and arrow season on bowerbirds?
Like old people, they need to be isolated and studied so that it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use.

How is it that we keep finding "new" species? Didn't Noah make a list?

Plants, frogs, insects, etc... are cool, but I am more impressed by the mammals. It is crazy that there are still places that are unexplored.

We found dozens, if not hundreds, of new species in what is probably the most pristine ecosystem in the whole Asian-Pacific region.
Not for long.
The scientists hope to return this year.

How is it that when scientists find heretofore undiscovered species, certain people assume that they haven't been there all along? I do believe the article clearly stated that humans had never been in the region before.

At first I thought the thread title said 100s of new spices found ... and I thought "**** - salt, pepper and garlic are good enough for me."

They weren't there all along if at one point they were only on a boat. :D

1) It was a joke.
2) That was my point--if they had been there all along how come Noah didn't know about them? Didn't he keep records?
3) It was a joke.

Wonder how long it will be for those 3rd worlders to go in and chop down the trees and eat all the animals...

I'm booking a flight right now to setup shop there.
Anyone wanna book a 7 day camping expedition at 'Wood's Garden of Eden Adventures'? Included in the package will be Southern Style BBQ using the exotic meats we come across during the expedition each day.

Imagine how many new species would be discovered if Dean never owned a firearm.

blackened echidna has a nice ring to it.
Sounds like it would pair well with a pino.

a tomatillo chutney would accentuate the southwestern/cajun crossover "feel".

*le sigh* Sorry, slow on the uptake this week. It's been one of those.

Jan. 29, 2006 — Amid reports of Bigfoot sightings in the jungles of southern Malaysia, the Malaysian government is trying to track down the legendary monster.
Headlines in Kuala Lumpur have been filled in recent weeks with news of the sightings. The local government is taking the reports so seriously that it's launching what may be the world's first government-sponsored effort to track down the mysterious creature.
Park officials are even offering Bigfoot sighting tours.
To many people, Bigfoot is the stuff of nightmarish folklore. He's been described by hundreds of alleged eyewitnesses as an ape-like creature that stands nearly eight feet tall and weighs more than 500 pounds. His name comes from the 17-inch-long footprints he leaves behind.
Some Canadians say the giant is real. They call him Sasquatch. Just six months ago residents of the small town of Teslin reported seeing a big shaggy creature that left behind a stinky tuft of hair and huge footprints.
In the Himalayas he's an "abominable snowman" called a Yeti.
Australian aboriginals call him a Yowie, but his existence has not been proved.
In the 1987 movie "Harry and the Hendersons," Bigfoot wasn't the scary monster we've all heard about. He turned out to be a friendly giant that became a beloved part of the family.
The most famous caught-on-camera footage, from 1967, was debunked after the family of the photographer admitted it was someone in an ape suit..
No telling what's living in those remote jungles. (http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=1552362&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312)

I'd be reluctant to wander about those primitive climes and invading tribal areas. They eats folks, y'know!

You would think that someone would have taken a camera and taken some PICTURES of these new species!:rolleyes:

I saw pics of them on the news. And I don't buy the virgin forrest mantra.
Some native hillbilly has wandered through there at one time or another.
