Researchers in the Himalayas have found over 350 new species including; the worlds smallest deer, a flying frog, and a 100,000,000 year old gecko. If you imagine that the Himalayas are just a giant rock climbing area then you are dead wrong. The Himalayas are a mountain range that the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan highland. The Himalayas vary with different climate, rainfall, altitude, soil, and so on.
This report is about WWF's recent discovery of over 350 new species over the last 10 years, but sadly, some of them are endangered because of the rising temperatures in the globe. 1 of the coolest discoveries is a green frog that uses its red webbed-feet to 'fly' through the air. Another cool specie that was found was a 100,000,000 year old gecko, the oldest gecko fossil known to man, was found alive.
The report also mentions the 'leaf deer', which was thought to be 1 of the oldest and smallest animals, but DNA tests confirm that the 'leaf deer' is in fact a new specie.
These discoveries were made around China and India (there is an exact location in the link).
There were; 10,000 plant species, 300 mammal species, 977 bird species, 176 reptiles, 105 amphibians and 269 types of freshwater fish.
