# Giant hornets so deadly locals call them “Yak Killers”
# Jumping “Yeti” mice
# A new grasshopper species in which the males hitch piggy-back rides on the females
# Baby blue-faced golden monkeys, the region’s largest primates
# Hamster-like pikas that eat their own feces
# A couple of new frog species, eight new insect species, and ten new species of ants to add the more than 11,000 already known.
