123 new species have been discovered in the great rainforest known as Borneo. The project to find them has been going since 2007, in an effort to help conserve the rainforest. The project was known as "Heart Of Borneo", and was sponsored by the WWF. Some of the more interesting species are totally unique. One was a bright orange snake which can turn shades of blue when threatened. Another is a flat looking frog that breathes through its skin because it has no lungs. Another is a slug with its tail almost 3 times the size of its head. Borneo is home to thousands of species found nowhere else.
