Really? you couldn't fact check the very first thing you decide to run for your article? How am I supposed to take you seriously when you make a claim that a simply google search immediately proves wrong (from multiple independent sources). The yeti crab was discovered in 2005 not 2010.

You are the reason people don't take journalism seriously anymore.

The information in the text was correct, but the caption had an error. That error has been corrected. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Look what we found

In all the time that humankind has been scientifically categorizing life, we've managed to get slightly fewer than 2 million species catalogued. About 46 new species were discovered every day in 2006, according to researchers at Arizona State University's International Institute for Species Exploration. Some scientists say that Earth could hold as many as 100 million different species, so we still have our work cut out for us.
 
Most new species are small invertebrates that would be overlooked by anyone other than a scientist; however, every now and then we stumble across a new monkey, large lizard or some other incredible animal that we've never seen before. Here are nine amazing newly discovered species. (Text: Shea Gunther)
