Scientists name new species of invertebrate after Hillary Clinton

MANAUS, Brazil -- Scientists studying the fauna of the Amazon River basin have discovered a new species of invertebrate that cannot make decisions without first consulting other members of its species to find out which choice is the most popular.

"This specie's lack of an internalized process for decision-making is quite extraordinary," said Dr. Yuval McBride of the University of Arizona. "It simply cannot decide anything independently, even whether to eat or mate. We decided to name it after the most indecisive organism we could think of. That turned out to be Hillary Clinton."

The specie's other interesting characteristic, McBride said, was its ability to take on either a blue or red hue depending on the color of the background through which it travels.

"This is most peculiar because the animal is rarely hunted," McBride said. "Its color shifting is not a defense mechanism. The animal just seems to want to fit in wherever it goes."

A member of the new species, Hillaria Indecisiva, is to be displayed at the National Aquarium in Baltimore.
