Well, now they have done it. Google Earth has mapped an area just teeming with life forms that are unknown to the rest of the Earth. And they will kill ya. Scientist Julian Bayliss was screwing around at the office—research, you know—and he did a flyover of Mozambique using Google Earth. When he noticed a large green patch, he zoomed in, found that it was unexplored and headed straight to Mount Mabu.  "7,000 hectares of forest, rich in biodiversity" that had been left untouched by scientists thanks to minor blips like miserable terrain and constant civil war... discovered three new species of butterflies, a new Gaboon viper than can kill a human in a single bite, along with all kinds of other wildlife, like 200 types of butterflies and tropical plants, all in a matter of weeks.
