Ten previously unknown species: http://cnn.it/1FLjH4u

Some are kinda of scary but most of know about chickens, just not ones that are 10' long!!!!

I thought it was funny how the bromelaid is common and has long been known by local residents of northern Mexico but had gone unclassified. Surprise!

It reminded me of the cartoon of the American Indians hiding behind a rock while the great European discoverers show up to view something never seen before! One Indian turns to the other and says, "who the heck are those guys?!"

who is growing Coyote tomatoes again this year - discovered growing "wild" in Mexico. As if there are "wild" tomatoes in Mexico that were not carried there from South America, where tomatoes actually do grow wild.

And if we had never seen false teeth, upon seeing someone remove theirs, we would shout it's a miracle! Or witchcraft. LOL

having compromised his perspicacity only by the loss of 2 wisdom teeth, has 9 more teeth than the average UK citizen of his age (who has 6 more teeth than the average of that age cohort in 1968) (link).

teeth contain the hardest mammalian tissue and have the best chance of being preserved of human remains. so, he's doing his best to help preserve the fossil record :D.
