“An amphibious mouse with webbed feet and a blob-headed fish are among 27 new species scientists have discovered in Peru.
They were found in an expedition to Alto Mayo – which includes the Amazon rainforest – by scientists from the non-profit organisation Conservation International and members of local indigenous groups.
Up to 48 other new species may also have been found, although further study will be needed to determine whether they are new, Conservation International says.”
I happened to watch Ratatouille, the movie, yesterday which had swimming rats. Now apparently we have swimming mice. Plus a dwarf squirrel and a number of other mammals.
