I'm not surprised myself. Although, it's a delightful thing, altogether, this discovery.

Concerning the the "right environmental conditions," the finding occured in Asia...where short people live! Yay me. I've got Hobbits for ancestors, and the feet to prove it

Indonesia is SO near the Philippines and I would not be surprised if the same kind of species were found here . heh
