Interesting Finds

Andrew works in the Seattle office of Zegrahm Expeditions and is passionate about our natural world. He regularly shares interesting tidbits and news articles with his office mates and we thought it would be a great idea to share this fascinating information with our like-minded travelers. We hope you enjoy his findings as much as we do!

This is pretty spectacular news: over 100,000 Western lowland gorillas were “discovered” in equatorial Africa, and reports indicate that this could literally double previous world gorilla population numbers. CNN and National Geographic ran the story online. A bit of good news for gorilla lovers worldwide! Read the full story at these links: CNN Article & National Geographic Article.

As if that weren’t enough amazing news, researchers identified not only the world’s smallest snake, but theoretically the smallest possible snake, meaning that snakes cannot possibly be smaller than this and still be considered a snake. I would love to see an x-ray of one! It comfortably fits on top of a quarter. Here’s the National Geographic News online article: World’s Smallest Snake.
