 Every year scientists at Arizona State University lead an international team in naming the top 10 newly discovered species: the most weird, reclusive and lethal of more than 10,000 new to science each year.
The International Institute for Species Exploration along with a committee of
taxonomists – scientists responsible for species exploration and
classification – added their votes to come up with the top 10 new species found in
2007. On the list are an ornate sleeper ray, with a name that sucks: Electrolux;
a 75-million-year-old giant duck-billed dinosaur; a shocking pink
millipede; a rare, off-the-shelf frog; one of the most venomous snakes
in the world; a fruit bat; a mushroom; a jellyfish named after its
victim; a life-imitates-art “Dim” rhinoceros beetle; and the “Michelin
Man™” plant.
