Strange discoveries: living fossils, hidden apes and animals found in drawers, sentence 0

You might think every animal on Earth has already been found, but scientists describe thousands of new kinds every year, mostly insects and small sea animals, and now and then something big.

Who acts: You, scientists · What happens: think, find, describe · To what, where: animal, thousands · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Strange discoveries: living fossils, hidden apes and animals found in drawers» of the biology course of Mova's primary school.
