Amazing: Lost World Found
An astonishing mist-shrouded "lost world" of previously unknown and rare animals and plants high in the mountain rainforests of New Guinea has been uncovered by an international team of scientists. Among the new species of birds, frogs, butterflies and palms discovered in the expedition through this pristine environment, untouched by man, was the spectacular Berlepsch's six-wired bird of paradise. The scientists are the first outsiders to see it. They could only reach the remote mountainous area by helicopter, which they described it as akin to finding a "Garden of Eden".

How exciting is this? Its not often that we get to hear of new, unknown species of anything on this planet! An untouched rain forest paradise closed off from the world and retaining hundreds of species of plants and animals never seen before. I was really hoping the article had some pictures of some of the new species discovered. Unfortunately, no pictures have yet been released to the public. I look forward to seeing them soon hopefully. Scientists need to be careful and not ruin their habitat and kill off some of the species. Its not a large area, that is, it would not take long for humans to over run it if we are not careful to preserve one of the last refugees of undiscovered territory.
'LOST WORLD' THRILLS SCIENTISTS
Soon after scientists landed by helicopter in the mist-shrouded mountains of one of Indonesia's most remote provinces, they stumbled on a primitive egg-laying mammal that simply allowed itself to be picked up and brought to their field camp.

How amazing, all these new species, and plants that have no history, can you imagine what the guy who found this must have seen? Tree kangaroos, spiny anteaters, and nothing hiding from man. Everything literally walked up and allowed itself to be studied. How fantastic.
