I thought we could have a thread where we would share newly discovered species in the year 2013.

Animals

Two-legged Lizard (Jarujinia bipedalis)

Those are some long nips for a lizard.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Updated with a Giant Mole Rat, Striped Bat, Collared Puffbird and Ziegler's Crocodile Newt

And the coolest fucking lizard to grace this planet.

Neon Blue Dragon

 

[Tuvoc]

The Ruby-Eyed Pit Viper is one bad-ass looking snake!

 

[hgarrett54]

The Ruby-Eyed Pit Viper looks so damn cool. Jeez.

And that Bat from the Underworld has "Beelzebub" in it's scientific name!

 

[Charlie McCarthy]

Are you sure that lizard is not a snake?

No. They are called Legless Lizards. You can see its little stubby legs.

That Newt lizard looks like a big axolotl and as others have said, that Viper does look very badass

 

[Bishop89]

"Bat From the Underworld"

what a name.

Also OP is missing that face sized spider that was posted!!

I think its really fascinating that in this day and age, we are still discovering animals.

 

[bananas]

Dickfish.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Well...

That Puffbird is cute at least. What a shit show of horrors.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Its like Pokemon, you get some awful designs, and you get some good.

 

[obin_gam]

Ruby-eyed Pit Viper (Trimeresurus rubeus)

So pretty. Should be a pokemon.

Spoiler

Smugleaf?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Added the 'Moby Dick' Mermaid Lizard

 

[B For Bendetta]

This is awesome, but the new guy they hired to name animals sucks balls

 

[Phat Michael]

I've always wondered how they realise that something is an entirely new species.

 

[GuyIncognito]

I want a Caroline's Mole Rat as a pet. Cute little guy.

 

[nailbombxx]

This is awesome, but the new guy they hired to name animals sucks balls

Haha, exactly what I thought.

 

[ACESmkII]

Ziegler's Crocodile Newt looks like it came straight out of Monster Hunter.

 

[Ridley327]

Bat from the Underworld is the best name for an animal ever.

 

[raindoc]

Poecilotheria Rajaei - It's as big as your face!

 

[Peter Bazooka]

Bat from the Underworld sounds like a Magic: The Gathering card.

 

[Phoenix]

Bat from the Underworld is the best name for an animal ever.

I think that translation is closer to "Lord of the Demon Bats" isn't it?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Schwarserium yunnanum
Here enjoy your new Beetle.

 

[televator]

Creationist: BUT WHERE ARE THE TRANSITIONAL FORMS?! You say they're right there I don't see them!!!

[Sethos]

Pretty much.

 

[kswiston]

That, South East Asia, and Madagascar are where most of the newly discovered species are coming from. Well, newly described by science anyhow. Local people have probably been aware of many of these species.
