'New' species discovered include 'T rex' leech, a 6ft-long lizard and glowing fungus

'New' species discovered include 'T rex' leech, a 6ft-long lizard and glowing fungus | Mail Online: "It looks like a pancake, crossed with a fish, and a bat... with arms. And it hops. So it's no surprise scientists have labelled one of their new discoveries the hopping pancake batfish.

The creature is one of ten 'new species' to have made it onto a list of weird and wonderful creatures published today.

Joining it is the 'T-rex leech' - a bloodthirsty 2inch invertebrate which was discovered when it was pulled from the mucous membrane of a girl in a remote region of Peru."
