Roj47 Posted May 17, 2006 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I agree that the BBC is a very reliable resource for information. In fact they will more than happily put their hands up if they make a mistake. What we have here is potentially a new discovery. There could be many factors including poor angle of shot, deformed creature etc...., but these will either be proven or disproved in time. We would be very naive to believe we have discovered all forms of creatures on this planet. It is only a matter of time before further are discovered. I certainly hope this is a new species which may/ may not allow a protection area against logging to be formed. We wait with anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
