This little guy made it into International Institute for Species Exploration’s Top ten newly discovered species for 2010. And it’s easy to see why with an awesome set of teeth like that and a super-cool name like Dracula Minnow.
Also making it to the list was the almost as awesome (for the name alone) Carnivorous sponge…
and the far out and fine Psychedelic frogfish…
I always find it incredibly exciting that every single year…despite all that we have seen and despite all the damage that we have done…we still discover new species that we didn’t know existed. It’s certainly a hopeful sign. 🙂
