46 new species

Reference-http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-01-suriname-forest-reveals-species.html
Summary-includes a new species called a "cowboy frog". I love the name, lol. Other species discovered include a 5 CM or 2 IN catfish and a larger than normal catfish covered with spiny armor to protect itself from it's predators in the pirahna filled river.The scientists journeyed along Koetari and Sipaliwini rivers, and they also found new rock carvings, petroglyphs. These rivers are in Brazil.
Impact- this can impact us because soon we can find a lot of species that we never knew about if we keep exploring the world.
Critique- This is cool. Just imagine all the other species we haven't found yet.
