New Orangutan Species!!!!
#1
This is a remarkable thing. Scientists have concluded that a relatively recently found, small population of Orangutans is a new species. They separated from other orangutans 700,000 years ago. 
So to the small family of great apes we are adding a new member. Also, they are critically endangered.

I hope knowing how special they are we will work to protect them. It would be too sad to discover them only to lose then.

It makes you wonder what else is out there that we don't know about.
