New species of Smoky Honeyeater! (No, that's not a porn star.)

Scientists today announced the recent discovery of dozens of new species in a remote jungle in Indonesia, including the smoky honeyeater.


And animals hunted to near extinction, such as the golden-mantled tree kangaroo.


They also took the first known photographs of Berlepsch's six-wired bird of paradise.


And don't forget about this little fellow, the mountain owlet-nightjar.


The New York Times also has a story on this.
