Don’t forget, they also found all kinds of great new animals, like fanged frogs and a tiny bear like creature.
The BBC online article was headlined “Giant Rat Found Near Lost Volcano”. Now I understand how you can overlook a relatively small, possibly nocturnal animal in a thick jungle like New Guinea’s, but how do you lose an entire volcano?
Because you took a left in Albaquerque and missed the turnoff?
I merged together two different threads on this big honkin’ rodent.

I want to know more about the tiny bear-like creature. Didn’t see anything in the article.
Here’s another article.
Can’t find any pictures but I’d love to see them! And the fanged frogs.
Prehistoric sabre-tooth frogs 
As a botanist, I have to point out that there must also be quite a few new species of plants (not that anybody but me cares.) 
I care.
Me, I’d love to see a sabre-toothed begonia.
That rat is adorable! It’s just sitting there chillin’, while five guys surround it with lights and cameras. They even pet it! Awww!
