From a devilish-looking bat to a frog that sings like a bird, scientists have identified 126 new species in the Greater Mekong area, the WWF said in a new report detailing discoveries in 2011.

Top one looks like a coney island white fish
Is there a Ping List for this type of stuff?......................

Well, at least it’s not a Fire Island white fish...................
Snakes,
New creatures,
PING!!!!!

those three are still undefined species under the genus Idiotus Politicii
Why does everyone associate bats with "the devil?" Because they fly at night? So do owls and whippoorwills. Because of Bram Stoker? Where are all the animal rights crazies and their charge of "speciesism" when it comes to bats?
Sorry. I used to be a member of Bat Conservation International and am an avid chiropterophile.
