New species discovered in the Amazon

Some new species discovered in the Amazon recently. Amazing, that there are so many we dont know about. The text below is copied from the website. Amazing species unknown to the outside world are being discovered in the Amazon rainforest at a rate of one every three days, the environment group WWF said. An anaconda as long as a limousine, a giant catfish that eats monkeys, a blue fanged spider and poisoned dart frogs are among the 1,220 animals and plants to have been newly found from 1999 to 2009, according to the report. Among the new mammals found was a pink river dolphin.
