Scientists from Conservation International and Disney's Animal Kingdom recently conducted a two-month scientific expedition in six regions of Tibetan "Divine Land" in the mountains of southwest China and Nepal.
So far, they have announced the discovery of a "new paradise garden" rich in exotic plants and animals.
" The fact that we found so many new species in a harsh environment, as well as documenting some rare and endangered species is good news for both regions, " Leeanne Alonso, chief the expedition team said.
Here are a few species found:
- The extremely dangerous giant honey bee that locals call "Tibetan killer".
- "Yeti" gerbil.
- A new grasshopper species that males hold their females on their backs.
- The golden monkey has a blue face - the largest primates in the region.
- The hamster eats his stool.
- Two new frog species, 8 new insect species and 10 new ant species.
