Scientists discover alot of things. I know that some species have even been in extinction like some protists or bacteria. the same goes to insects. I think it's great that they keep on doing research. they will probably come out with something to protect them.

Wow this is great news! Turns out we don't know the whole world as we claim it to be. The scientists must be having a field day over there. I didn't even know there were such animals existing in the world.
It's also great to know that some species thought to be extinct are still living after all. Like the article said, the Laotian rock rat was thought to be long gone but is actually still alive and kicking.
