The newly discovered species are mostly of the scaly variety - lizards, snakes, newts, fish and the like. There is one lizard that was thought to be extinct but it's not interesting-looking enough to beat the coelacanth as the coolest back-from-the-dead beastie. Here are some of the weirdest critters.
Dolly, eat your heart out. The female of this species can reproduce via cloning, which makes it an awful source of DNA if you're looking to genetically recreate dinosaurs.
This bat is looking quite smug. What would such an ugly bat be so smug about, you ask. He's the best-looking bat on the list.
I've always thought that those night-vision cameras can make any living creature look creepy. Somehow I think this fish wouldn't look any less creepy through a normal camera. For some strange evolutionary reason, underwater animals frequently look like apparitions out of a horrifying nightmarescape so the Vampire Fish will fit right in.
This guy looks like he's dressing up as a comic book superhero. Is there already a Newtman in comics canon? With the ability to regrow lost limbs? If not, there should be.
This just gets creepier and creepier. This millipede doesn't just look off-putting; it also secretes cyanide.
Look at the fangs on this bitch. What's worse is that this spider is the size of a dinner plate.
Ye gods, the Mekong is creepy. Okay, I'm stopping before I lose all ability to sleep ever again.
