Summary – This article is about how there are a lot of new species that are being found in the Amazon Rainforest everyday. The WWF says that 1,220 new species have been found within 10 years, indicating that there is a huge amount of species diversity in this area. Some of the most interesting new species include a very long anaconda, a monkey eating catfish, and poison dart frogs. The article goes on to describe more of the new and amazing species. However, the article states that a lot of animals in this area becoming extinct because of the cutting down of the rainforest, and it says that we need to be more aware about this and save the animals there.
Opinion – I think this article is pretty interesting because I have always thought it would be amazing to find an animal that’s never been seen before, and in the rainforest they have found 1,220 already! I also think that the animals and plants they found are really cool, especially the monkey eating catfish. However, this article is also a little said because it says that a lot of the animals are becoming extinct because we are cutting down the rainforest. I think that people need to be more aware about this and start saving the rainforest because there is a lot we can learn from these animals. This is my opinion on the article.
