Sometimes it seems as if centuries of careful study has left little to be discovered on this planet of ours, but nature holds plenty of secrets yet. According to the WWF, 615 unique species were discovered on the island of Madagascar -- and that's just between1999 and 2010! Despite the excitement over each of these new discoveries, however, there exists the troubling reality that countless other creatures will become extinct before they are ever found, what with the specter of environmental crises continuing to loom.
