A new species of snake called the red-barred green pit viper (Trimeresurus erythrochloris) has been identified in Thailand .

In the Amazon of Colombia, researchers discovered a new fish species, Priocharax rex , notable for its “chastity belt”-like skin flap.

The noslit scorpionfish stands out due to its three spines on the lacrimal bone, a feature not seen in other species.
