    Just read the newspaper & I was shocked that the scientists found a lot of new species in Vanuatu island at South Pacific Ocean.

    To find out more, pls read this PDF:

    How come they did not document what kind of species were found? Or did I miss it?

    Interesting clothing for the tribal men though..

    Actually, new species evolve at micro level everyday due to endemism in a localised ecosystem to fufill the food pyramid. It is hard to catalogue all of them, since distinct patterns can be differ in a matter of 30 years.

    Not Stuporman la... its Nik-enduser who went there.... the former is Dr. Ng Heok Hee (catfish expert) from University of Michigan and the latter is Dr. Tan Heok Hui (betta/paros and Gastromyzon man) from NUS.

    Stuporman no more with U of M lah, back to NUS already. Confusion galore. luckily they are of different body shape otherwise pengz, very hard to ID
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.
