A golden-fronted bowerbird (Amblyornis flavifrons) is seen on the Rapid Assessment Program expedition to the Foja Mountains in Indonesia's easternmost Papua province in December 2005. Members of the expedition said Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2006, that scientists had discovered a "Lost World" in an isolated Indonesian jungle. They were able to identify dozens of new species of frogs, butterflies and plants -- as well as large mammals hunted to near-extinction elsewhere.

Scientists took the first-known photographs of the six-wired bird of paradise, a bird described by hunters in New Guinea in the 19th century and named for the wires that extend from its head in place of a crest. It was previously thought to have been hunted to extinction.

Here is that same Golden Kangaroo. Looks cute. Would love to have one.

I am so happy that these rare and beautiful animals have a chance to survive now. There are so many species out there that we do not know about. Some of the rare plant life could hold the cure for all the sickness and disease in the world. We should protect the environment as much as possible.

BTW, beautiful pics
 
Thanks for posting the pictures, Justin. Those are indeed spectacular.
 
No problem. Indeed they are. I cant wait to find out what else is out there. Imagine whats in the deep blue??
