 3 new species were found(on left). The animals were a millipede also known as "wandering leg sausage", a blue tarantula found in Brazil, and a monkey found in Myanmar that sneezes when it rains.

     These animals got on the Top 10 list of new species. The millipede was in 8th place, the tarantula got in 10th, and the monkey got in 1st place.

The first species is a giant millipede. It has 56 rings, with each ring having 2 legs. It is an amazing 6.3 inches long, the longest of any millipede known. That's the size of a sausage!

The second species is a snub-nosed monkey that, oddly, sneezes whenever it rains. It is white-bearded and has black fur. It is believed to be critically endangered. That's a shame, I was wishing to see one of these in the mountains where it was found.

The third species is the Sazima's turantula. It is a breathtaking sight to see as it is blue almost all over. It was originally found in the flattop mountains in Brazil. I think that this arachnid is pretty cool to look at.
