Daily Bread for 1.3.12

Good morning.

A mostly sunny day with a high of twenty-four for the Whippet City, but in Los Angeles, it will be a sunny day with a high temperature of eighty-two.

If you’re a botanist, 2012 starts as a memorable year: you don’t have to record new species with Latin descriptions, and you can record those species online.  Welcome to the 21st century.

If there are many plants to be discovered, then there are also new animals to be discovered.  2011 was a year of significant animal discoveries.  See, Still a Wild World: Top New Animals of 2011. Among those discoveries: dolphins, sawsharks, psychedelic geckos, tube-nosed bats, snub-nosed monkeys, african wolves, and the eel-like protoanguilla palau.

Below is a video of protoanguilla palau, the mysterious ‘eel-a-saurus.’
