Sydney Scorpionfish - an unexpected discovery.....

[rramaley]

For every videographer and photographer out there.... you might have footage of an unexpected new species!!! I almost didn't ask about this one but it made the day of Mark McGrouther at the Australian Museum...... They didn't know it existed until the early 2000's and it took them another 10 years to figure out what colour it was live!

Sydney has many attractions to offer to both the locals and tourists alike. We have the famous Opera house, the beaches, the factory outlets, and now this Scorpionfish finding! It is always fascinating to read of new discoveries of life forms or things that have thought to have been extinct or perished. It makes one wonder what other creatures co-exist with us humans and when will they be discovered or will they remain in refuge forever.
