I am always amazed by the strength of when I read some news.
After hearing this.
Fourteen new species, including a lizard without legs and a tiny woodpecker, were discovered in the Brazilian region of Cerrado. The others are 8 species of fish, reptiles 2, a toad with the horns and a fat-tailed opossum. The new lizard, the genus' Bachia ', and' perfectly adapted to the environment, while the woodpecker with a a red head, measuring 12 cm. All new species were located in over 700 thousand hectares of ecological station of Serra Geral do Tocantins.
If you want to deepen the argument you can read all the news here http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080429095049.htm.
I think that all this is due alal strength that nature has to adapt to changes that the man ago on earth.
Or will be another reason?

I still don't believe and accept that we came from the species of apes, pnly scientist does believe in that theory. Thats nice that we have a new species to talk about. But I believe also that theirs still a lot of species out their that need to be discovered.

Man isn't the only thing that changes the balance of life on earth... weather patterns are the most influential. If a volcano erupts, the repercussions of even a small eruption can change the growth cycle of a particular plant in a particular area, and the animals that use it as food will, of course, be effected.

well the real reason i can adduce to this is cross breeding and sometimes you find that scientists are yet to discover half of what nature has in stock for us so we must keep searching and disvovering

It proves how little we know about our wonderful planet and the importance of protecting the environment.
I have always thought there is so much still to discover and yet we go on destroying habitats and allow species to die out.
I find these new species of animals and birds fascinating and I think in those remote and unexplored regions there will also be unknown plants, which could contain a natural cure for cancer and other diseases.

Under the new plants that would enable us to cure diseases there had thought, but now that you make us reflect on this I think it is likely. I agree with you.
