Fangs? Alright, it's a start.I'm only going to briefly touch on this, but 2008 was a hell of a year for discovering new species. Last year 163 new species were found in South East Asia's Mekong region alone. The discoveries ranged from fanged frogs, to leopard geckos, to new types of wild banana plants. And most of them are found no where else on Earth, at least so far.
The mainstream belief is that the fanged frog evolved to defend itself against Glenn Beck's insane attacks, but the rest of the species have been evolving over the last 8,000 years or so, as climate changes took place in the region to separate certain creatures from one another, and creating this immense range of diversity.
Here is a link to the article, they've also got a video on their homepage, but NG is weird about letting you embed their new videos so good luck finding it yourself.
