Lost World of Fanged Frogs and Giant Rats

40 previously unidentified species exploreed in a kilometre-deep crater of Mount Bosavi in Papua New Guinea. A pristine jungle habitat teeming with life that has evolved in isolation since the volcano last erupted 200,000 years ago. In a remarkably rich haul from just five weeks of exploration, biologists discovered 16 frogs which have never before been recorded by science, at least three new fish, a new bat and a giant rat, which may turn out to be the biggest in the world.

Volcano Crater of Mount Bosavi

Lost Land Of The Squeaky Beetle probably didn’t have quite the same air of drama about it.

But if you enjoyed Lost Land Of The Jaguar and Expedition Borneo, you’ll know what to expect as the team of naturalists heads off again, this time to the unspoiled jungles of New Guinea, hoping to identify new species.
