Blob-Headed Fish and Amphibious Mouse Among 27 Newly Identified Species in Peru
Peru’s Alto Mayo is like a hidden treasure chest that keeps surprising scientists. Recently, researchers found 27 new species, including a weird blob-headed fish and four mammals that were previously unknown to science. This isn’t just exciting—it’s proof that nature still has secrets. Deep in the waters of Alto Mayo, scientists found a fish that looks, well… odd. It has a soft, squishy head that makes it stand out from any ordinary fish. Some might call it ugly, but in nature, everything has a purpose.
