110+ NEW Species Discovered in 2026! 🦈 New Cat Shark + Turquoise Viper 😱Added:
More than 110 new fish and invertebrate species so brittle stars, sea anemones, crabs, sponges, even a cat shark. Yay! Were found in deep waters of the Coral Sea off Queensland, Australia, announced March April 2026 from the RV Investigator expedition.
Scientists say that the total could top 200 once everything is fully analyzed.
At least 11 new species in northern Cambodia's caves and rocky outcrops, announced April 2026, includes a striking turquoise-colored pit viper, new geckos, a tiny microsnail, first of its genus, excuse me, in Cambodia, millipedes, and more.
