A vampire hedgehog, a pygmy pipehorse, and a "blob-headed" fish were among the hundreds of new species identified in 2024 .
The California Academy of Sciences said their scientists made findings across six continents and three oceans, which led to describing 138 new animal, plant and fungi species.
Locations where scientists discovered these species included Peru , the Ecuadorian Amazon, and the Greater Mekong region in South Asia .
A "blob-headed fish" in the Chaetostoma genus is among 27 species new to science.
The function of this unusual structure remains a mystery, researchers say.
The species was already familiar to Indigenous Awajun people who were working with the Rapid Assessment Program .
