This is great. Well, until McDonalds gets to hear about it anyway.

An international team of scientists says it has found a "lost world" in the Indonesian jungle that is home to dozens of new animal and plant species.
"It's as close to the Garden of Eden as you're going to find on Earth," said Bruce Beehler, co-leader of the group.
The team recorded new butterflies, frogs, and a series of remarkable plants that included five new palms and a giant rhododendron flower.
The survey also found a honeyeater bird that was previously unknown to science. |

Yeah, I've read about this. But what I was thinking to myself was, they tell about all these fantastic animals that aren't afraid of humans. What do you think will happen now? I'm afraid poachers and rare animal dealers are on a boat as we speak to load up on these animals.
