For many years，Bruce Bexler dreamed of going to the lands no human had explored and discovering rare，unknown species．That might sound like an impossible dream，
but Bexler turned
it into a reality．
In December 2015，he，together with a team of Australian and American scientists，adventured into a rain forest on the island of New Guinea．They were the first people
ever to enter the region．"As we were dropped on the ground by helicopter，we found
no trails anywhere；it was really hard to get around，" Bexler says．

The newfound species didn't shy away from the scientists．Two long-nosed echidnas
even let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them．Bexler thinks the animals weren't scared because they had never seen humans before．He explains，"This area gives scientists a place where they can study the behaviours
of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people．"
