An amphibious mouse with webbed feet and an unsightly blob-headed fish are among the more than two dozen new species scientists discovered in a remote region of the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. The haul of new species was also accompanied by another 48 species that are potentially new to science but require further analysis, the report said. “It’s astonishing — to find four new species of mammals unknown to science is pretty impressive. They have extensive traditional knowledge about the forests, animals and plants they live side-by-side with,” Larsen told Reuters. “These forests in the foothills of the Andes going into the Amazon are the most diverse in the world,” Jiggins, at the University of Cambridge, said.

Launched in February 2022, the FTX Future Fund was part of the FTX Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto empire which fell apart last year, in what U.S. prosecutors called an "epic" fraud. Representatives for FTX also declined to comment and declined to say whether the FTX Foundation is included in the bankruptcy proceedings. The FTX Future Fund supported research into topics that "improve humanity's long-term prospects" and was funded primarily by Bankman-Fried, according to a profile of its activities published on Twitter. FTX's statement did not reference the FTX Future Fund specifically. One FTX Future Fund beneficiary in the U.S., who asked not to be named, said they received a grant of more than $150,000.
