I’d've thought, in 2006, that pretty much all multicellular life had been catalogued, particularly life that’s close enough to the human-survivable biosphere to be visible from, say, standing height.
Nope. Several dozen new marine species have been discovered near Indonesia, including a shark that walks on its fins. (Of course, there’s no such thing as evolution, so this transitional form from fin to foot should be ignored as the heresy it is.)
Life continues to astound.
Unfortunately the US Department of the Interior is planning to drill the site for oil next week.*

“…including a shark that walks on its fins…”
And you thought it was safe to stay up on the beach. Landshark!
