Wired has the roundup as “10 Strange Species Discovered Last Year,” but we beg to celebrate nature not as strange, but rather simply fantastic!
Making the list of top 10 species found and described in 2008, according to The International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University are:
• the world’s tiniest seahorse, Satomi’s Pygmy Seahorse, aka Hippocampus satomiae. Found in Indonesian waters, it’s the reigning champ of lilliputian seahorses, floating around at half an inch tall.
• Phobaeticus chani, the world’s longest insect looking like a stick and found in Borneo
• Charrier Coffee aka Coffea charrieriana the caffeine-less coffee plant.
• Barbados Threadsnake aka Leptotyphlops carlae, the world’s tiniest snake
