The Land that Time Forgot Found!

Hey, check this out!!! Sent in by Tim Sayell is an article from The Guardian recounting biologists that discovered a world untouched by man or anything else for that matter, for 200k years!!

Discovered in a remote volcanic crater on the Pacific island of Papua New Guinea were such things as fanged frogs and rats the size of...well dogs! Check out the pic! They named this monster the Bosavi woolly rat. It had absolutely no fear of humans at all.

From the article:

• (in) just five weeks of exploration, the biologists discovered 16 frogs which have never before been recorded by science, at least three new fish, a new bat and a giant rat, which may turn out to be the biggest in the world.

Giant Sand Worms found in England!

Holy Frank Herbert Batman huh? Not too often I can get that sensational but it would appear that this is true if you take into account how long ago.

Proof that giant worms, which grew up to 3ft long and 6in wide, which lived 260 million years ago, were found in Torbay, Devon. These animals lived underground before dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Scientists have found evidence of large burrow holes that are said to have been made by the creatures as they traveled beneath the surface - but as yet haven't found any evidence of the animals which made them. The large holes were found across an area of sediment at the bottom of what was a desert valley or dry river bed that only contains water during times of heavy rain.
