Reptile So Small It Can Fit on a Pencil Top

Oh, my God.

Pardon the constant posting of science/animal stories, but this one is just plain fascinating.

It is simply mind blowing that there is such a vast amount of species being discovered. That is all aside from what actually exists out in some of the undiscovered parts of the world. There may even be a group of human being whom have never known of the existence of other human life.

To think that just in one little area in the world there are such strange forms of animals we know today. A gecko small than the eraser on a pencil. A transparent frog you can see its beating heart among other working organs! A snake whose head and eyes are much larger than we are used to that can siphon its victims from their shells. The list just goes on!

The fact that all things adapt to their environment for optimal survival is all you need to know to figure out that there are too many species of animals for the human mind to even fathom. It is just a crying shame human-kind won't have the opportunity to view all the beauties and wonders of the Earth.

The world has been around for billions and billions of years. Enduring so many ice ages and everything in-between. There are trillions and trillions of species in our time. There had to be just as much (if not more) in each era. So does that mean human beings existed in those times as well?

Okay. I'm getting in far too over my head. I could theorize and hypothesize for hours on end.

And with that, I bid you all good night.
