Flying squirrel and skydiving gecko among new species

A skydiving gecko and a fish that mates head-to- head are among hundreds of new species found by scientists in the Greater Mekong region.

Other discoveries in the South East Asian region in 2012 to 2013 include a new species of giant flying squirrel, an eyeless cave- dwelling spider, and a green flying frog which glides between treetops using large webbed hands and feet.

They are among 367 new species documented in a report by conservation charity WWF, Mysterious Mekong, published on World Environment Day to highlight the diverse wildlife in the region.
