That's pretty amazing. I'd really like to see some better pictures of this creature, but I'm sure we all would.

[Kitten Medli]

How amazing that all the longer we've been here we still have things we've yet to see.

Wulffraat

That'd be such a cool name for the mammal.

I thought there was already an animal called that? O_o I swear I've heard it on TV somewhere.

This is really neat! I wish people could just let the jungles alone though, so these cool creatures could continue to live. It is sad that it could go extinct due to people moving into it's territory and building roads and farms. And well, they have to actually capture one to study it, but there may only be a few of them left.

LOL that's what I thought when I saw it too. It looks like a xweetok! Did TNT know about this?

The chances are, getting your groceries, going to school, seeing your friends, and other important things in your life would be impossible or extremely hard due to forrest, large fields and generally bad terrain. Especially in those cold, cold winters. I mean, if you didn't get your education, that'd be pretty sad, too, right? Not forgetting without farms and ranches to harvest your food, you'd probably starve, or kill your own food.


I don't want to be seen as being confrontational, but in the end, what would you choose?

The state of things isn't so clean cut and black and white.

Besides, forest lands can be pretty infertile. The only reason they have huge trees is... well, they have huge trees. The trees keep the land fertile by preventing nutrients from washing away and by providing detritus. Farming such lands tend to be pretty unsuccessful.

However, it is harder for poorer countries to conserve their wildlife. It's pretty sad for both humans and animals.

THE XWEETOK LIVES!!!

Mwahar!

I can forsee this topic ending up in the debate board...-psychic'd-

[Ginger Harp Seal Pup]

That's really cool. I bet there's hundreds of animals that we haven't found out about. I'm sure some will be forever hidden.

[Pudding]

Wow, it looks really cool, especially the tail. It's so awesome when we find out that there's a whole species that we never knew about. We'll never discover everything, but it's nice when we get a little closer.

Also, The Wullffraats would be a great name for a rock band.
