What makes the Dragon Millipede unique is it’s pink like color. Researchs say that the color is what protects the Dragon Millipede. Predators usually avoid bright pink creatures as it probably means that it is not edible and perhaps toxic.
It amazes me that there is a New Species Discovered list at all. There is so much that we still don’t know about this planet. We are finding new species every day as well as causing others to go extinct which is really the cycle of life. I hope to lean more about the new species to help us understand how our environmental practices casuse these new species to come about and how we can cause others to disappear.
The International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University releases the list of New Species Discovered each year from a compilation of a bunch of different researchers around the world.
