A new species of tarantula has been discovered with a large horn-like protuberance on its back. The tarantulas were found in Angola, Africa, by scientists working on The National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project. The bizarre new species was named Ceratogyrus attonitifer - with the latter word meaning astonishment or fascination. In the journal article, scientists John M Midgley and Ian Engelbrecht wrote that the new species of Ceratogyrus was "remarkable". John M.
