Bald songbird discovered in Laos
Scientists have discovered a striking new species of bald songbird in a limestone region of South East Asia.Its inhospitable habitat, far from any human activity or settlement, may explain why this unusual creature has evaded researchers until now.
The bald-headed bird was spotted by scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the University of Melbourne.This is the first new bulbul to have been discovered in 100 years. The newly discovered bulbul is also the first bald songbird to be spotted in mainland Asia.
