Hopefully it’s not as deadly as the tiny Irukandji or the larger potentially lethal Box Jellyfish (Chironex Fleckeri) as I saw on the Discovery Channel last night. Still, new species discoveries are always nice to hear about. Always looking forward to hear about new species finds and again this the best place.

Thanks Loren.

Yes you certainly did at that. I think this is the single best resource out there for getting to the meat of any particular CZ item or issue. I trust the opinions and knowledge here more than any other place.

So thanks from a small fry.

“Has this been a record year for the discovery of new species?”

Well, 2007 is less than two weeks old, so it’s hard to tell.

The Year 2006 seemed like it got a lot of media notice around discoveries that had been actually made, sometimes, in previous years.

Also, our awareness of new discoveries is only as good as the forms of communication to share that information. For example, 2006 was the first full year that Cryptomundo existed. We are working hard to bring all this news together in one place for you on a daily basis.

I too must agree that 2006 seemed like an extraordinary year of discoveries. But then, I made it a priority to get every new discovery to readers here in a way it had never been done before.

Has this been a record year for the discovery of new species? I haven’t been following this angle long enough to know, I was mostly interested in the (for lack of a better word) “main” cryptids for the past few years.

The more new species I see discovered, the more credence it seems to give my views on certain other cryptids yet undiscovered. It just seems I’m seeing something newly discovered every time I turn around, which is fantastic! So is it just me? Or has the past year yielded some amazing amounts of discoveries, news items, etc? (Granted with that come a whole boatload of fake stuff as well, but I’m impressed nonetheless!)
