Cool, though I also think they should've included prehistoric animals. Siats and Lythronax deserve mention IMO.

Wow! Once again, so many new species has been founded this year! Forests of Amazon, New Guinea, Sri Lankan, & Vietnamese still not been fully explored. xD

@CyborgIguana: Just one prehistoric species mentioned, the Kooteninchela deppi. But I agree with you, Siats & Lythronax should be mentioned too.

It would seem the completely new-to-science Omani Owl is missing from the list, which is weird, since it would seem like more of a 'discovery' than several of the cryptic species that have been known to science for ages.

It's a shame the Carolina hammerhead isn't also included in that list.

Banned for being rude.

I'm hoping next year they discover a long-lost species of ground sloth (mapinguari)
