On
Borneo
Island,
52
New
Species
Discovered.
Scientists have discovered at least 52 new species of animals and plants on the southeast Asian island of
Borneo since 2005, including a catfish with protruding teeth and suction cups on its belly to help it stick to rocks,
World Wildlife Fund for Nature International said Tuesday. “The more we look the more we find,” said Stuart Chapman, WWF
International coordinator for the study of the “Heart of Borneo,” a 85,000-square-mile rain forest in the center of the
island where several of the new species were found. “These discoveries reaffirm Borneo’s position as one of the most
important centers of biodiversity in the world.” Click

The
iPod
Speaker
that
comes
with
Built-in
Tuna.
A TINY fish tank that doubles as a music speaker has sparked outrage among animal activists and
aquarists. The iPond - up to 15 times smaller than the recommended tank size for the fish it contains - is proving a hit
with Christmas shoppers. One Sydney store has sold out of the $70 device and other outlets are reporting brisk sales.
But the RSPCA has called on the device to be banned because it is too small to provide fish with adequate oxygen
supplies and a clean environment. The iPond is sold nationally by the Pets Paradise and Pet Goods Direct chains. Users
can play their iPods through a speaker built into the bottom of the brick-shaped tank. The tank's water capacity is
about 650millilitres once rocks are placed in it. Pets Paradise is selling Siamese fighting fish with the iPond. Click
