oh geeez
I would have bet these animals where known before. they look so familiar to th untrained eye

i think it is amazing that there are still so many thig to discover about Earth - and yet we cannot wait to destroy it

We destroy and new things will eventually make new niches. I am fascinated by how species diversity relates to environmental quality and / or extinction events.

buhut - the extinction/ change of species ultimately influences the worldwide ecological system - in the end affecting us humans.
I am sure we can only adapt to change this much. After that it is extinction for us too

though i do not really believe it will get taht far. I think some red button will cut it short
