I read about this Frogprince, it really is an exciting discovery.

Seeing that, as yet and may it remain so, there is no commercial access to the area where the Creatures live there is hope that they will be left in peace for some time.

Thank You for posting the Slideshow. Wonderful.

Life goes on...just when we people think we know all there is to know about the other Species on the Planet...Nature educates us:)

I read about this. Thanks for the link!

Every day, in every way, we're learning more and more that we know less and less.

Just amazing that this can still take place in our smaller and smaller world.

It was a wonderful site Frogprince - unfortunately while I was looking at the stunning photographs I was also listening to a news report on the radio that ranches in America are breeding (tame) rare and endangered species to act as "sitting ducks" for trophy (so called) hunters! Sort of took the edge of it somehow.......... :(

i remember once hearing of a national geographic expedidtion
that went to a previosly un-visited-by-modern-society isolated
tribe and brought them transistor radios...that might have been
the beginning of the end for those "innocent" people. I hope this
doesnot bring death and destruction to this pristine area.

like the book and movie Never Cry Wolf, the well-intentioned
naturalist was followed by not-so-friendly others.

A fewy3ears ago there was an expedition that went to a remote
place in Aftrica where supposedly no outsiders had ever visited.

and there was a group that discovered a sacred mythological water fall in Thailand or Burma (Siam?) that was apparently not seen by others (except maybe monks) prior to their journey there.

amazing to think there could possibly be places on the planet
not yet trampled, mapped, or manipulated. I hope it remains
intact!!

Very nice to see but it will be a miracle if this park is not exploited in a year or two as a tourist mecca.
