Yeah, it's wonderful how complicated the natural world is.
We're still discovering stuff every data. Recently it was discovered that one of the most unique looking critters in the world (the mata-mata, a turtle) was actually two species.
In even grander confusion, a friend of mine was working her way through her masters in mycology. She focused on the fungus Phytophthora ramorum. In the end it turned out that the Phytopthera aren't even fungi. They're algae, an entirely separate branch of the eukaryotes. It's like discovering that your cat is a house plant.
