New Specie identified in the Western Hemisphere

 The latest discovery in the animal world involves a new type of mammal.. Olinguito: 'Overlooked' mammal carnivore, By Jane O'Brien  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23701151

The name is the Olinguito. His habitat is the Western hemisphere in the rain forests of Colombia and Ecuador. It has taken scientists over a century to identify this animal since it is extremely rare to find in present day. This discovery started when a Dr Helgen a zoologist analyzed a weird anatomy of a certain animal in a Chicago museum . He was speechless with the discovery he had just made, he had no words to explain how he felt. Dr Helgen works at the National Museum of Natural History where the biggest collection of mammals bones are held. The Olinguito forms part of the latest addition to the animal family. This animal is a carnivore that forms part of the dogs, cats , bears and other relatives group. It is the first animal discovery in America for more than three long decades. The crucial question that haunts scientists is weather the Olinguito lives in the wild? The truth is the Olinguito lives by itself and produces only one baby at a time. They may be carnivore but it mainly eats lots of fruits. This discovery has led to others explore what else is out there to discover.

This article has enough information from the author to draw excellent conclusions from it. He shows a side of nature no one has seen and explains it in a surreal way. In my opinion this article helps others and myself to wonder and encourage what else is out there to discover. We may not be scientists but wondering is not a crime. The world is a huge place with many things that are unknown to the human eyes and are just waiting to be discovered. Teenagers are the next generation and it up to us to make a new discovery and also to make a change.

Why is Safety Important 

Safety is important because its our life that is on risk if we don't follow the proper guidelines of the lab or any other place with dangerous materials. Important safety rules I have learned are 1) always use goggles in the lab. Goggles are important because no one wants to get blind by not following the rules. 2) Sharp object should not be carried around looking up. Who likes to see blood ? I think no one especially if its your friends blood. Sharp objects are extremely dangerous if not used carefully. Science is a vast topic that has many explanations to it. In my opinion science is very interesting and i am eager to learn more about it this school year. Chemistry this year is so far so good. I've heard its a difficult course but following the rules and instructions there is no reason to get a bad grade. Something I really want to do this year is to make lots of labs just to make the class fun.
