New Species Discovered in Vietnam

GENEVA, Aug. 26 (XINHUA) -- Scientists have discovered 11 new species of animals and plants in a remote area in Central Vietnam, conservation group World Species Fund (WSF) said on Wednesday. "We are concerned some of these species have mutated."

The species were found in the Thua Thien Hue Province - a region known as the Green Corridor.

They include two butterflies and a snake, lizards and an unknown creature that is believed to have primitive reptile features. Five orchids and three other plants were also found, all of which are exclusive to tropical forests in Vietnam's Annamites Mountain Range, said the Swiss-based organization in a press release.

"There something strange going on here," We need to be pro-active in making sure the type species do not spread to other areas of the world such as the United States"

According to the WSF, all these species are at risk from illegal logging, hunting, unsustainable extraction of natural resources and conflicting development interests. However, the Thua Thien Hue Province authorities - in particular the Forest Protection Department - have committed themselves to conserving and sustainably managing these valuable forests.

A mysterious crate shipped overseas to an unknown Top Secret location may have accidentally been lost somewhere near Carowinds, North Carolina. Officials are concerned that it may have included a unique species recently discovered in the Vietnam jungle. Eyewitnesses say that they saw a Crate with a parachute attached falling from the sky somewhere over Carowinds, an amusement park located on the NC SC boarder. Due to the High Level of secrecy we were not able to get a spokesperson to comment on its actual existence.

We will update this story as soon as we get more details.
