Want to be a misogynist? Go to Hexbear! Just make sure you’re talking to a pup-girl first so you have plausible deniability and can complain that you aren’t being interpreted charitably enough for your blatant misogyny.

  • Another gallery had different descriptions and a couple unique photos, but they’re evil and make mirroring hard, so here’s five:

    The grey gecko covered in tiny leopard-like spots on a rock.

    Another species discovered during the survey, the Battambang leaf-toed gecko – Dixonius noctivagus (meaning ‘night wanderer’) – is covered in tiny leopard-like spots. Only two species of the Dixonius gecko genus have been identified in Cambodia, far fewer than in neighbouring Thailand and Vietnam, which indicates it is likely that further undiscovered species exist in the landscape.Photograph: Hun Seiha/Fauna & Flora

    Striped Kamping Poi bent-toed gecko on a person’s hand.

    Four populations of the striped Kamping Poi bent-toed gecko were found and identified as a new species: Cyrtodactylus kampingpoiensis. Despite being described as one species, it is thought that, due to the isolation of the karst formations, these four populations are separate in evolutionary terms, and further genetic analyses may establish whether they are four different species rather than just one.Photograph: Phyroum Chourn/Fauna & Flora

    A black millipede with bright red stripes running from head to tail on a rock.

    One of two millipede species collected during the survey (this one was discovered in Battambang in 2024), the vivid colouring of the Orthomorpha battambangiensis probably indicates that these millipedes are poisonous or, at the very least, unappetising for potential predators.Photograph: Fauna & Flora

    A reticulated python coiled on a rock.

    A reticulated python in Phnom Preak, Battambang province. This python species, native to south and south-east Asia, is the world’s longest snake with many specimens measuring in excess of seven metres.Photograph: Phyroum Chourn/Fauna & Flora

    A closeup of a brown tree frog sitting on a rock.

    The brown tree frog, also known as the Hong Kong whipping frog, found in the Phnom Prampi cave in Battambang province, a designated natural heritage site. The frog gets its name from the way the female uses her back legs to whip up foam before making a nest for her eggs.Photograph: Phyroum Chourn/Fauna & Flora











  • A couple choice quotes in case you neither clicked through nor read the transcription, but decided to check out the comment(s):

    Of course, “discovery” is a loaded word. Many animals and plants described by Western science were already known to Indigenous peoples and local communities.

    Conservation laws, threatened species lists and monitoring programs usually work at the species level. If several species are mistakenly treated as one, a declining species can be hidden inside a larger group that looks secure.

    As we stand at the precipice of Earth’s sixth mass extinction, this has never been more important.

    Recognising hidden biodiversity does not solve conservation problems by itself.
