các nhà khoa học phát hiện ra loài vật... 486 chân :D

-----
A previously unknown species has been discovered lurking (ẩn nấp) in the parks of Los Angeles and Orange counties.
The animal boasts 486 legs and a toothy (nhiều răng), Predator-style head. It has the greenish translucence (trong mờ) of a glow-in-the-dark toy in daylight, and weaves through the soil as elegantly as an embroiderer's needle.

But step away from the microscope and the Los Angeles thread millipede (Illacme socal) becomes a lot less intimidating. With the width of a thin mechanical pencil lead and the length of a sewing pin, it's easy to see how this tiny, thread-like snippet of an invertebrate (không xương sống) has gone unnoticed — until now.

...The discovery is a tiny reminder of the vast (to lớn) kingdom of small animals at the base of the world's ecosystems (hệ sinh thái), a universe of minuscule (rất nhỏ) creatures at risk of being lost before we can appreciate the essential role they play.

"Literally, these new species are right below our feet," said Derek Hennen, an entomologist (nhà côn trung học) with the Virginia Museum of Natural History who was not involved with the study.
