Free Your Imagination

Posted on August 15, 2007 by Ray Watkins

This is from a odd little website with a good heart called Free Your Imagination. This creature is so odd that I can’t help but suspect fraud, but its real. The goal of the site is to collect information, images, and video about “a few of the hundreds and hundreds of new species discovered since the year 2000.” The hope is that by doing so readers will understand the Earth “as a place still being explored,” and will find “the courage to conserve and protect the fragile, shrinking areas of habitat.” (Thanks to Rocketboom!)
