ok now this is cool i cant find many pictures but check this out

This undated handout picture released on December 15 by WWF Greater Mekong Programme shows a Gumprechts green pitviper found in Thailand. Scientists have discovered more than 1,000 species in Southeast Asia's Greater Mekong region in the past decade, including a spider as big as a dinner plate, the World Wildlife Fund said Monday.

It is amazing that even though we know so much we are always finding new things. It is also pretty awesome the 1000 species could have evaded scientists for so long. Who knows how many more animals and different species are yet to be discovered?
