For those into this "Awwwwwwww" animal thang (and I...uh... sheepishly admit to being one of them), here's a cool slide show of some of the 1300 new species of fellow sentient beings discovered on this planet recently. 1300. That's way cool, IMO, and kinda offsets a lot of the Bad News we hear on the News. Man, if there had been a Yoda Bat when I was growing up -- let alone growing up as a hippie -- I would have SO had one of these dudes as a pet. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/13/new-species-2011-conservation-international_n_848787.html The Chinchilla Tree Rat rocks, too. Dude would just drop right in at one of my parties. The Walking Shark is too weird even for me; you either swim or you walk -- doing both is ego. The Ghanaian arachnid reminds me of the night I was out at Joshua Tree in the middle of the night with my girlfriend and we ran into the Tarantula That Ate Chicago. Bigger than my fuckin' SUV. At least at the time. :-)
