More cool species

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/popup?id=2735366

So, 52 species we didn't know about until recently. What does that bring our total count to on the planet that we know of? How many more may we not know about that exist out there for now?

52 fewer.

I can't believe they went with the tree-frogs.
