I had research the usual sources of infomation, but I then thought; how do I normally learn about natural history..? Easy, I watch tv, and I remembered a short series I watched on the discovery channel about a Volcano which holds an abundunce of the rarest creatures on the earth. The team of ornithologists, naturalist, and scientists visited the remote island of New Guinea, and at its centre is one of the least explored corners of the planet. The exploded volcano had turned extinct, and now it is a huge bowl of dense forest with cliff walls, keeping all the species stuck inside creating its own unique ecosystem. No humans have ever been there before, animals are less scared of humans as not ever being hunted and countless new species were found in the first few days...Amazing.
Take a look for your yourself;
