Scientists have discovered a Lost World, which would make Conan Doyle proud on a mountainous Indonesian Island which has apparently never shuddered under the footsteps of mankind. There aren't any dinosaurs (yet) but there are new species of plant, insect and animal being discovered daily. Biodiversity of a kind unimagined even in the Amazon. Large mammals naive of the danger posed by the two-legged interlopers. An arboreal kangaroo thought almost extinct, a strange egg-laying mammal, all have been seen for the first time since the 19th century.
Wow.
Follow the link and be entranced as I was.
And they say the Earth's surface has no secrets left to uncover.
This... this is amazing!
