New species discovered by team in the Peruvian Jungle

 The New York Times has a very interesting story (albeit it lengthy) of a group of scientists who went into the Peruvian Rainforest to investigate the ecosystem. They came back with information about the area, and this:

During their 38-day expedition, Dr. Larsen and his team discovered 27 new species in Alto Mayo, including four mammals, eight fish, three amphibians and 10 butterflies. The team also found dozens of rare and endangered species, some not known to occur anywhere else on Earth.

It is very cool. Here are two images: the first of the area and the second of a few of the discoveries.
