What new species have been discovered this year? | Natural History Museum

[@markpieexplores]

Imagine going to bed in Guyana and waking up in Wales

[@greatgongo3772]

What a nightmare

[@chiseldrock]

I agree this should be a regular (quarterly) feature!

[@redbloodedbutterfly]

While a newly described moth may be exciting, I really hope the photographer does a better job of cleaning her boots and equipment before and after she enters a new environment.

[@shannonritz]

When I went to New Zealand and Hawaii they are very strict about making sure your shoes are clean. No sand, dried mud, or dirt clods allowed. Some airports even offer free shoe cleaning stations built onto a little platform that collects the debris. The stations are rudimentary at best- a wooden or metal platform with a three-sided brush you put your shoe into and then scrub it back and forth between the bristles- but they’re relatively cheap and easy to install. Wish more places would implement them.

Many of the fish in the Xingu river won't spawn in aquariums. They will be lost forever. The march of man caused extinctions goes on. No slowing it.

[@shawncrosby5076]

This is great news of the discovery of these species. Keep up the fabulous work & keep us informed.

[@cedhome7945]

Now I am interested to find out more, this should be a monthly news video

[@stevenbissonnette7893]

My piranhas will eat almost anything, other than fish bugs and inverts, they'll eat berries, bananas, mango, pineapples. They'd adapt if meat was not available.

[@LouSasshall]

that bat looks like the local drunk down at a weatherspoons pub

[@CrowSkeleton]

I had to go look up the proper name for those Caecilid lakeworm things, because I swear the presenter said 'Sicilians'.

[@thomasborg6341]

Thats how the amphibians (not worms) are pronounced.

[@wenzhangyue6795]

i have seen that insects before! 😮 when i play in river behind my house

[@TrveMetalhead_666]

2025 has just begun and thems already finding new animals. Keep it up

[@stephsexoticpets]

loved this!

[@adawnab]

I'd love to go and see all the things there

[@drandy.myanmaryoutubechannel]

Amazing !

[@SilasNomad]

Amazing stuff, but also- that jumper/tshirt is awesome

[@ronaldcross6082]

Seven words for the algorithm, Love the content

[@pattheplanter]

Don't you do flowering plants?

[@MichelZongo-q3r]

I loved this video.

[@RussTillling]

Super production thank you. Sorry but I didn’t like the distracting background music.

[@KEZAMINE]

Oh sorry mate we'll take the music out next time just for you 😒🥱

[@jxsie_04]

Thats a you problem, i think 😭😭

[@catsadilla324]

Remember Dark Lord Sauron? he's back!....in piranha form.

[@T_Greer]

I need that t-shirt

[@baileylarson2661]

is the vegetarian piranha not just a black bar silver dollar or even a Pacu? Silver Dollars and Piranha come from the same family, one is carnivorious and one is an omnivore but mainy eats plants...

[@Fuzzylemonade222]

That is Myleus schombburgkii vs Myloplus sauron, same family of Serrasalmidae but different genus. Keep in mind species can sometimes superficially resemble each other but taxonomically be entirely separated

[@Discotekh_Dynasty]

Big fan of Mark

[@danilostahl8178]

u know I always wondered how ppl discover animals like u may know of them but it hasn't technically been discovered or u think its one animal but it might be another

[@sethlogee]

So happy they found new praying mantis in the world 🌍 🎉

[@apeacebone6499]

It's such a delight to see these people speak about the finds that excite them and explain why they're important. Also, I love the "queer as a coot" shirt!

[@jamesblake7338]

I wonder how many life forms we’ve destroyed before we discovered them 🤔

[@EmpressOfExile206]

I think the fact that the meat/fin eating piranhas have evolved a mouth full of serrated razor blades means it's safe to say they are in fact carnivorous 😂 Also the "bloodthirsty swarming behavior" *_is real;_* it just only happens in certain places under particular conditions 💯

[@masonballard-ir3mi]

Piranhas Defending themselves and being hungry is not being dangerous

[@frozenfeather13]

I always have such high hopes but 99% of all new species are like "look, this frogs hind legs are just a little more crooked!" Or "this rat's tail is slightly longer" it's just always disappointing. I'm the stupid guy waiting for us to doscover this whole new family or genus of animal! That's what I want. Or even like when they discovered the red sea dragon, very similar to other sea dragons, yet very distinct. That's what excites me.

[@jeangenie68]

How many specimens of a "new species" do you need to find for it to be considered a new species? (I'm talking about new, living specimens)

[@IndriidaeNT]

I want to discover a new species of fruit bat/megabat and butterfly.

[@nidus8175]

The candiru fish does not enter genitals regularly. While there is one account that is likely true, others are without evidence. I would not call it a habit or behavior of the fish.

[@andrewflategraff]

Who's eye is it mimicking?

[@majorbruster5916]

Precisely.

[@Tjalie-j6i]

Ahh, we keep new species in a 🫙 on formaldehyde I see, good to know 🤔. I just encountered the Karinus Fragilis, now I know where to put that horrid and rather loud species 😉.

[@Christian12291]

Looks like a black bar silver dollar at 4:45

[@phaxiong104]

Right?... that's not really new, it's been in the aquarium hobby for a while... I don't think that's a different species of parahna, I have some of the wide/black bar silver dollars...

Misuse of "myriad" kills me

[@h82w83]

Rupert Collins damnnn 🤤

[@foylad4862]

There's a new species of human. It's called the zombie 🧟🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

[@TremendoJP]

This video was very interesting. However, the narrator seemed too stagy! I mean, his quirks were a distraction.

[@angelikalindenau943]

Question - what do you reckon the underlying sound (music/racket) adds to your content? It annoys the living daylight out of me, so it's unsubscribe. By all means pay the musicians but for a different performance.

[@brasii6178]

He moves his hands to much ion like it 💯😂

[@EmilyJelassi]

You really don't have to include the new spiders... VERY scary 😨😨😨!!

[@caloocanboy5800]

bro shtfu, all animals are special, spiders included too, just cuz u afraid of them, nobodies gonna make an exception for you, the spiders are more special!!!!❤

[@stigsdump2]

Why do feel the need to advertise your sexuality, it's not relevant pr necessary.

[@dozersmom22]

The same could be said for your comment…it’s not relevant or necessary.
