Ukraine's Drone Use, H-1B Visa Uncertainty, New Species In 2024

Yeah, he actually discovered three new species or described them. And all of these frogs spend their entire lives in these trees. They lay their eggs, they hatch, they eat little spiders, all within the tiny pools of water that collect between the leaves. And this kind of lifestyle is unusual for frogs and pretty cool.

Ukraine's Drone Use, H-1B Visa Uncertainty, New Species In 2024

So I want to stay in Madagascar because it's such a richly biodiverse place. And I want to add a plant to the list, specifically an orchid. Orchids are these plants that have these nectar spurs, which are like little tubes that feed nectar to pollinators. And this new species has one that's like a foot long.

And that's actually the longest nectar spur relative to the flower size of any known plant. It's called Solenangis impredicta, and it's pollinated by a moth with an equally long tongue.

Yeah, there's climate change. There's deforestation. We risk losing these species just as soon as scientists are finding them. Each of these species is really an irreplaceable answer to the question of how to make a living on Earth. And scientists are racing to describe them before it's too late.

You then go to nearby villages on the nearest island to where the mining operations are taking place. And people there had no idea that just over the horizon, kind of 20 miles south of where we were sitting, talking... There's a vessel that's taking the first steps in starting deep sea mining operations. And when they found out about this from us, they really were not happy.
