New Species Discovered in California Caves
ENN: Environmental News Network [[Today's News Full Story ]]:
"Twenty-seven previously unknown species of spiders, centipedes, scorpion-like creatures and other animals have been discovered in the dark, damp caves beneath two national parks in the Sierra Nevada, biologists say."
Discovering new species is fantastic, just so long as EVERYONE and their brother does not come along to get their own specimen. It is great that measures are being taken to protect the caves, but ONE or TWO specimens of each species should be enough for proper research.
