Well, this isn't particularly important in the grand scheme of things, but my favorite scientific discovery of 2012 (well, partially -- but definitely confirmed and announced in 2012) is this. It's an event when a previously unknown "large" mammal is discovered -- but eight in one semi-small area is amazing. That's where my interests lie, so hey.

Also it's a reminder that every hectare of rainforest destroyed includes many species we don't even know exist yet. So we'll never see them. Just saying.
