The Wildlife Trusts' annual marine review has highlighted some of the most extraordinary wildlife sightings in UK waters this year. Top sightings include a colourful sea slug spotted in UK waters for the first time. The slug, called Babakina anadoni, was found by a diver off the coast of the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago southwest of Cornwall on July 29. It's just 0.8 of an inch (2cm) long, less than half the size of a little finger, and is covered with an array of jewel-like 'cerata'. Also included in the list is a swordfish that turned up off the Isle of Man in August, and a 100-year-old Greenland shark that washed up on these shores for only the second time ever. But Wildlife Trusts has warned of 'huge threats to marine life', including avian flu that has killed tens of thousands of seabirds.

Natural History Museum names 351 new animal and plant species its uncovered this year
From the oldest-known stegosaur to frogs smaller than a penny, scientists at the Natural History Museum in London have uncovered 351 new animal and plant species this year. While these creatures may have already been observed by humans around the world, 2022 saw them being officially named and documented, aiding their protection for future generations. They were mostly invertebrates - as these make up the majority of the animals on Earth - with hundreds of new species of beetle, moth, stick insect and wasp, but also fish, frogs and minerals. Fossil discoveries also resulted in the identification of new species of dinosaurs and ancient mammals, including the oldest lizard known to science.
