Salamanders[/center]
The Hellbender is a giant salamander, up to 29 inches long, but
these creatures aren't easy to find.
They tend to spend daylight hours under rocks, and on top of
that, their numbers—and their habitats—have severely dwindled.
In the above video from Brave Wilderness, Coyote Peterson and
herpetologist Tim Brust travel to a secret location on a quest
to encounter the super amphibian. Their mission is to collect
field data and biometrics to help conservation efforts for the
Hellbender, listed as near threatened by the International Union
for Conservation of Nature.

Rainforests are the most diverse places on earth and contain
thousands of different species. However, we still know so little
about them and the treasures that they contain. No one has been
able to say how many plant species that there in the Amazon
rainforest, until now. An international team of researchers from
Brazil, the U.K., Columbia, and Spain have painstakingly
compiled a list of 14,003 plant species that are growing in the
Amazon rainforest.
Don’t be mistaken, this number is not the total number of plant
species in the Amazon, only the number that have been formally
identified. There are still troves of species in the Amazon
waiting to be discovered. Identifying all the ones that we know
is a start. And certainly, this was no easy task, as this
information can be scattered across many different sources, and
in different languages.

[center]🐟 New population of extremely rare fish found by
accident[/center]

The Red Handfish (Thymichthys politus) is quite possibly the
rarest fish on Earth, with less than 40 known individuals
surviving in the wild. Now, divers have found a new population
which doubles the known numbers of the species.
Handfish is a generic name which accounts for 14 species in the
coastal waters of southern Australia and Tasmania. Handfish are
known for moving around by walking on the sea floor rather than
swimming, with their highly modified fins which resemble hands,
thus lending them their name.
Most handfish species are vulnerable to extinction, but the Red
Handfish is critically endangered, with the only known
population residing in Frederick Henry Bay near south-east
Tasmania — a site which covers just 50 metres by 20 metres (165
x 65 feet). Now, divers have found a new area which hosts the
species.
It all started when a member of the public reported seeing an
individual handfish. This sent divers and biologists on a
frantic search. After two days, the teams were almost ready to
give up the search, when they finally found one. IMAS Technical
Officer Antonia Cooper spotted the first fish when she had all
but abandoned hope.
--- Quote ---
> “We were diving for approximately three and a half hours and
at about the two hour mark we were all looking at each other
thinking this is not looking promising,” Ms Cooper said. “My
dive partner went to tell the other divers that we were going to
start heading in and I was half-heartedly flicking algae around
when, lo and behold, I found a red handfish.”

This is exciting for several reasons.

Thanks, bro.
It is so sad to watch helplessly as so much life that makes the
biosphere a wondrous beauty to behold and experience is wantonly
destroyed.
