A team of scientists ventured into a remote volcano in Papua New Guinea and discovered the bizarre, weird animals you can only find on Earth. The new species of weird animals include a rats as big as a cat, a fanged frog and grunting fish. Below are some of the photos of the new species found in the “Lost World.”
