Can't stand when species are called "new". Newly discovered is more like it, though I'm sure they would do just fine without us ever laying our eyes on them.

Yes, isn't that amazing? It makes me wonder why some people come to the conclusion that the One True G-d does not exist, exclaiming there isn't enough evidence, when we have not even discovered all the creatures that exist.

It's amazing to realize that we haven't discovered all the animals in the world yet. There's new discoveries in the future!
