Look at this salamander, tho. It knows what you did.
scientists surprised to find so many animals unknown to science in well populated region
wow it's almost like "science" is just a bunch of mayos gatekeeping fake names of shit that's existed and been known by humans for thousands of years
The team of 13 scientists included Peruvian scientists from Global Earth, as well as seven technical assistants with extensive traditional knowledge from Feriaam (the Indigenous Regional Federation of the Alto Mayo Awajún Communities)
...
While the species have never been described by science (the process of assigning a species and name), some were already known to Indigenous communities. “As Awajún people, we have a great deal of knowledge about our territory,” said Yulisa Tuwi, who assisted with the research on reptiles and amphibians. “We know the value of our plants, how they cure us, how they feed us and we know paths within the forest that have led us to meet different animals.
It seems like most of them were Peruvian and indigenous and still surprised at how many they found
well yea, because there's no resource that POC are allowed to contribute to duh
wikipedia is gatekept by whites
Hell yeah, ban science it's all just white people doing it!

This one really confused me for a bit, had to look up the word amphibious to remember it doesn't just mean amphibian.
