Here's today's feel-good story:
New species of plants and animals were discovered in 2022, proving that there are still never-before-explored places on earth.
The new species include fish, rays, plants, scorpions, and spiders. These species were found across six continents and three oceans.
“Though all species within the genus physically look quite similar, we discovered they are in fact genetically distinct,” reports Academy researcher Dr. Aaron Bauer.
“Nearly every mountain in New Caledonia hosts a unique Bavayia species.”
