Researchers in a remote jungle in Indonesia have discovered a giant rat and a tiny possum that are apparently new to science. Discovering species new to the world are only found in areas known as the 'lost world' in places which have been visited by humans only once or twice. As there are very few places on earth which fit this criteria it really shouldn't surprise us when only a few new species are discovered. Hopefully these discoveries can teach scientists things not previously known and that these discoveries keep happening.
To be honest this is really exciting as it promises future discoveries. Maybe someone is going to find some dinosaurs hidden in some remote jungle in China. Get excited for some big future discoveries.
