This program just started! The description reads "The inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 'The Lost World,' the mysterious jungle plateau, Roraima."
Roraima is a sandstone plateau located where the borders of Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil meet. The sandstone has actually been dated to 1.8billion years old. The area is so isolated that more than 1/3 of life there is found only there.
Anyhoo, there's a group of scientists from different fields on the expedition to the top, and who was up first?? Rick West! He hunted a short distance and found a gorgeous T. apophysis. They're finding crazy snakes and insects too. Looks interesting, and should air a few times before they put the show back on a shelf.
It's not even a documentary about Ts, and 15min into the show, I've seen 2!
Edit: Perhaps this belongs in the Announcements Forum. *shrug*
Just watch it.
