New species found every three days over last decade
In the lush rainforests of the Amazon, scientists have discovered a blue-fanged bird-eating spider, a black and blue-colored poison dart frog, a pink river dolphin and a camouflaged anaconda. These and thousands of other species were discovered in the Amazon between 1999 and 2009, at the average rate of one new species every three days, according to a new WWF report.
Check out the report and great slide show of some of the more fantastic creatures here.

Having been to the amazing Amazon River and endless rainforest, I am counting the days until I return and reading anything I find about the vast variety of exotic life found there!
