Friends of the Philippines will not be surprised to learn that researchers from the California Academy of Sciences have identified 300 new species during a 42-day expedition in the Philippines. The new species — found in rainforests, coral reefs, and the ocean floor — include “dozens of new insects and spiders, deep-sea armored corals, ornate sea pens, bizarre new sea urchins and sea stars, a shrimp-eating swell shark, and over 50 colorful new sea slugs.”
