At Science Sensei<\/em>, we have often covered the unique animals as well as those that have since become extinct. However, we do not often discuss the newest animal species that have popped up. New species are discovered every year, but sometimes they are not presented as “special” to some readers. Yet just this year alone, there have been a lot of important discoveries. In the last decade as well, some incredible animals have been discovered that were never before seen. In fact, at least one is a hybrid species, a few are incredibly small, and some will give you freakin nightmares!<\/p>\n

We decided to only cover those from the last decade and none before then. That means from 2012 to 2022 only. We could have added in some from 2011, but we felt like we had more than enough to discuss from the set years. It is also important to let you know that some of the newest animal species we discuss will look a bit familiar to you. This is because they are newly discovered subspecies of a known species, and one we likely referenced before. They were likely seen beforehand, but scientists were not aware of the differences before this decade. That said, we’ll break down all you need to know below so let’s get started!<\/p>\n
