In celebration of the biodiversity found in our world, the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry has put together the Top 10 new species list. Everything on the list has been identified by scientists in the previous year.
“I’m constantly amazed at how many new species show up and the range of things that are discovered,” Quentin Wheeler, the college’s president and founding director of the International Institute for Species Exploration, said in a statement, according to The Los Angeles Times.
This year’s list includes a rare great ape, a hitchhiking beetle and an extinct omnivorous marsupial lion. It also includes some species that are critically endangered, like the massive, 130-foot trees found in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest.
