NEW SPECIES OF MONKEY IS DISCOVERED IN TANZANIA:
THE FIRST IN AFRICA FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS

Africa's first new species of monkey for over 20 years has been discovered in remote mountains in southern Tanzania. Called the "Highland Mangabey" (Lophocebus kipunji), this long-haired forest primate was first discovered by conservation biologists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) on the flanks of the 2961 m (10,000 ft) volcano Mt. Rungwe and in the adjoining Kitulo National Park. Remarkably, this highly secretive animal was later also found by another team working independently more than 350 km (230 miles) away. The discovery is described in the leading journal Science.

Bizarre rodent discovered in Southeast Asia; Oddity new to science SCIENTISTS DISCOVER ODD-BALL RODENT
New Rodent - Laonastes aenigmamus

A team of scientists working in Southeast Asia have discovered a long-whiskered rodent with stubby legs and a tail covered in dense hair. But don't call it a squirrel. Or a rat. Because it's actually more like a guinea pig or chinchilla. But not quite. In fact the new species, found in Laos by scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and other groups, is so unique it represents an entire new family of wildlife.
