all kidns of strange and wonderful beafts in the world. how do we even know them all. wh

That’s the beauty of it: we don’t know them all! We’re constantly discovering new species! Granted, some of these discoveries weren’t completely unknown to science and were only misidentified as a different animal, but they’re still pretty cool nonetheless. Here are some mammals that were discovered in the past few years:

The Popa langur (Trachypithecus popa), first described in 2020.

The northern greater glider (Petauroides minor) and the central greater glider (Petauroides armillatus), upgraded from subspecies of the southern greater glider (Petauroides volans), to their own species in 2020.

The Ramari’s beaked whale (Mesoplodon eueu), described from a single beached specimen in 2021!

The striking Halloween colored Nimba myotis bat (Myotis nimbaensis), described in 2021.

The southern maned sloth (Bradypus crinitus), first described in 2022.

The Benin tree hyrax (Dendrohyrax interfluvialis), first described in 2022.

The eastern Mindanao gymnure (Podogymnura intermedia) and the Kitanglad gymnure (podogymnura minima), first described this year, in January 2023.

And the Talpa hakkariensis mole, described just last month in August 2023!

The dusky leaf monkey (Trachypithecus obscurus),

also known as the spectacled langur or the spectacled leaf monkey, is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. It is found in Peninsular Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand, and can occasionally be found in Singapore. During the day, these small, folivorous primates divide in sub-groups and forage for vegetation and fruit throughout the tropical forests. According to the IUCN, the dusky leaf monkey's population is declining due to habitat loss, poaching, and anthropogenic land use, which prompted the IUCN to classify the species as endangered in 2015. -Wikipedia

Silvery lutung (Trachypithecus cristatux)

This arboreal monkey is found in wetland forests, including mangroves, coasts, rivers, and swamps, across several Indonesian islands. They are far more specialised for eating plants than most primates, with ridged teeth and a multi-chambered stomach. Juvenile silvery lutungs are bright orange, a stark contrast to their adult grey colour.

Hey, do you have any monkies? I'm collecting a lost for a very knowledgeable 6yo to research, so if you have any cool looking ones, he'd love them! Thanks :)

I might have a few cool monkeys for you!

· Un langur o lutung de cabeza blanca (Trachypithecus poliocephalus) acicala a un langur joven en un árbol del Ecoparque Chongzuo. Se distribuye a lo largo de su región autóctona, Guangxi, que está al sudeste de China. Mide entre 50 y 60 centímetros y puede alcanzar los 20 kilos de peso. Es diurno y vive principalmente en los árboles, en grupos de 4 a 5 individuos. Se estima que la fecha de apareamiento tiene lugar en abril y, como resultado, las hembras dan a luz a una sola cría. Desde hace más de 20 años, este animal está incluido en la lista roja de la UICN como “especie en peligro crítico de extinción”. Esto se debe a que, según los cálculos que han hecho los expertos, su población actual no supera los 250 langures adultos. 📸 Jed Weingarten | National Geographic
