New Animal Species

Stories about new scientific discoveries amaze me. It just doesn't seem possible that in this day there's anything new to discover. But I guess there is. I saw this article yesterday in USA Today where scientists had discovered a bunch of new species in Indonesia. Isn't this guy on the right cute? I think he's a long-beaked Echidnas according to the article. And the coolest thing was these animals weren't afraid of humans and the scientists were able to handle them. When can I get one as a pet?
