Posted by Scientists spent three weeks in the rainforest of Suriname and found no less than 60 new species, a few of which may even be new genera, and saw an encouraging total of 1378 species: evidence that this area is one of the most pristine in the world, although higher-than-normal mercury contamination indicates that nowhere in the world is completely free of human impact.
You can see some fascinating images here – look out for the margay (wild cat), conehead katydid, purpleheart tree, and horned beetles.
