SOCALcryptid, the pacman-frogs or horned frogs are in fact from south-america, and not africa.

Rustaveli, you are absoltely right. Lets hope the funding will continue.
red_pill_junkie, as I often agree with your comments lets hope that this is not the case. Deforrestation has been brutal over the years in South America. I wish it would just STOP.

The problem is that this increase in new discoveries may be the result of the terrible quick-paced deforestation that the Amazon is suffering. The animals may be leaving their ancient territories due to human pressure

SOCALcryptid:

Considering that in spite of its huge size the TSWR is just a speck of forest on the fringes of the Amazon, one can’t help but wonder how many different species are still waiting to be found in the latter…

More good news, thanks Loren. Wow, the legless lizard looks neat. The second lizard resembles a Bearded Dragon from Australia. The bigger frog resembles the Pac-Man frog from Africa. That tree frog looks like it would be poisonous due to the orange coloration on the hind legs. Good stuff.
Scientists working in the Amazon say that there is a new species of animal being discovered on a daily basis. Hard to believe but every time they go out in the field they are finding something new. As I often say, humans are ignorant to think we have discovered all that is out there.
