New Found Paradise

Scientists have found a hidden paradise deep in the jungles of New Guinea. Helicopters were used to reach the Foja mountains of Irian Jaya. They have discovered dozens of new species of frogs, plants, and butterflies. They also discovered the "orange-faced honeyeater, the first new bird discovered in New Guinea in over 60 years!

The article, here, goes on to describe their expedition, and all of the new species they discovered. I think this is an outstanding discovery, and it's exciting to see that there are many things in our world that are yet to be discovered. It says in the article that the animals arent scared of humans, and that is because the animals havent encountered humans before.

The leader of the expedition hopes to return in the future..."There were so many new things it was almost overwhelming. And we have only scratched the surface."
