Current Events: New Animal Found! A Giant Rat!

When researchers went to Indonesia they found a giant rat and possum that are new to science. These animals were found in the Foja Mountains. This rat is said to be about five times the size of an average city rat! The new found possum however, is described as one of the worlds smallest marsupials. To find a new species in the twenty first century is a very rare and exciting ordeal. The part of the jungle that these animals were found in is said to be the "lost world" because so few humans have ever been there. It can be presumed that in that same stretch of the jungle, there are hundreds of new species to be found. "It is comforting to know that there is a place so isolated that it remains the absolute realm of wild nature." says Bruce Beehler, and I agree. To think that even with all of the powerful industries cutting down forests to make paper, wood, and space, it is nice to know that there is one unskathed area of land that remains untouched. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/12/17/giant.rat.ap/index.html
