BOY, THAT WAS QUICK
New monkey species discovered in Africa (Bob Holmes, NewScientist.com, May19th, 2005)
A new monkey species has been found in the highland forests of Tanzania. The monkey was discovered almost simultaneously by two research teams on separate mountain ranges and is the first new African monkey to be found in more than 20 years. It also instantly becomes one of the rarest and most critically endangered primates on Earth.
If you want to get away from the woes of the world and wile away a few amusing hours, pop a cold one and Google “New Species”. Not only will you get a good sense of the pomposity of modern biologists and conservationists, you might stumble on gems like this. And this.

Some types of clay are very common in the wild but nearly impossible to synthesize in the laboratory. They're apparently unwilling to breed in captivity.
