Newly Discovered Animal Species That You Should Know About

Isn’t the animal kingdom amazing? We all evolved from nothingness into vastly different species (or were created in the Lord’s image if you’re not into science) and are still evolving to this day. Well, some people are evolving. Other people are skipping a generation, I guess.

And after all these millions of years, we still don’t know everything about the animal kingdom that there is to know. We keep discovering new species day after day. And while most of them are pretty dull, these ones sure aren’t!

Potamotrygon Rex
Not quite a Tyrannosaurus, but it’s a stingray with polka dots. I guess that’s sort of cool.

Scolopendra Cataracta
Good news: it’s not a human centipede. Bad news: it’s 20 centimeters long and amphibious. And it’s venomous. So don’t swim, walk or breathe near it.

Inia Araguaiaensis
This is the perfect animal for people that are thoroughly fond of vowels. It’s a river dolphin, and it’s the first new river dolphin to be discovered in over a century.
