Not Known Place.


Not known place.
The zone of “Monte Mabu’ in Mozambique, didn’t appear in the map, until it was discovered by Scientifics of the Royal Botanic Gardens of the United Kingdom thanks to Google earth. This big forest located in the north zone of the African country, with big trees of 45 meters, is one of the most important discoveries of the last years. There, they have found new species of butterflies, snakes and birds to the degree that they have classified them by experts like a new paradise. The particular biodiversity of that place only known by the habitants of the area includes new species of antelopes, monkeys, and ant bears. The fortunate circumstances of the location occurred when scientists of the institute looked out for internet places that could served as one project of ecological conservation. The coordinates in Google earth are 16 degrees, 17’ 56’’ south and 36 degrees 23’ 44’’ east.

Wow!! Amazing. I thought that all the world was already known. When I read this article I couldn’t imagine it could be true. Thanks to Google earth now we know more about places we did not know before. Then I started to imagine if there are others places not known for the people. Just imagine finding a new place not known, it would be interesting. I imagine if those places that are not known are hiding a secret.
