A LOST WORLD was recently "discovered" in the jungles of New Guinea-the part that belongs to Indonesia....So the QUESTION is - HOW LONG before the Darwinists begin to spin about the creatures? "During a 15-day stay at a camp they had cut out of the jungle, the conservationists found a trove of animals never before documented, from a new species of the honeyeater bird to more than 20 new species of frogs.
"We were like kids in a candy store," said Beehler, a bird expert with Conservation International in Washington, D.C. "Everywhere we looked we saw amazing things we had never seen before." The team spent nearly a month in the Foja Mountains on the western side of New Guinea, the part belonging to Indonesia.
On the second day the lakebed group made another suprising find when a male and female Berlepsch's six-wired bird of paradise came into the camp to perform a mating dance.
Until now the homeland of this "lost" bird had been unknown. It was the first time Western scientists had even seen an adult male. "We had forgotten it even existed," Beehler said."

The team recorded new butterflies, frogs, and a series of remarkable plants that included five new palms and a giant rhododendron flower.
The survey also found a honeyeater bird that was previously unknown to science. He said that even two local indigenous groups, the Kwerba and Papasena people, customary landowners of the forest who accompanied the scientists, were astonished at the area's isolation.
Mr Beehler said some of the creatures the team came into contact with were remarkably unafraid of humans."
