Posle one tužne vesti o kineskim delfinima evo jedne malo bolje.
Naučnici su tokom 2006 godine na Indonežanskom ostruvu Borneo otkrili čak 52 nove vrste, uključujući i nekakve minijaturne ribice, novu vrstu žabica koje žive na drveću i nekakvu novu vrstu soma.
Otkriveno je ukupno 30 vrsta riba, 3 vrste žaba i 20 biljnih vrsta u ključujući i 3 vrste drvenastih biljaka.
Borneo je jedno od poslednjih (uglavnom) netaknutih kutaka prašume na Zemlji i obiluje raznim oblicima života. Naučnici su otkrivali u proseku 3 nove vrste mesečno tokom ove godine.
Citat:A miniature fish, a tree frog with bright green eyes, and a catfish with a sticky belly are among 52 new species discovered within the past year in Borneo, according to a report released today.
The Southeast Asian island is shared by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei.
Borneo is the world's third largest island and home to some of the last pristine wildernesses in the world, says the international conservation group WWF.
The island's newfound species include 30 fish, 2 tree frogs, 16 ginger plants, 3 trees, and a large-leafed plant.
"I have no reason to doubt we will continue adding new species [from Borneo]," said Mark Wright, science advisor for Surrey, England-based WWF-UK, which released the report.
"In the last ten years we've been finding three new species every month, month after month," he added.
