5 "Extinct" Species that were Rediscovered

[@QuickManSimp]

This is one of the few discoveries that bring hope to conservation.. the fact that so much land hasn’t been surveyed really tells us that we still have time to help life around us ❤

[@Elbowbanditest2003]

It makes me wish I had the money to explore uncharted terrain.

[@Rainforestdelight]

Another species to consider for a future episode of rediscovered species is the Harlequin Toad (Atelopus Varius), or any of the other Atelopus species that have been rediscovered over the past few years.

Very exciting news from Finland! One of our native fish that we thought went extinct back in 1960 was just rediscovered! The catfish, although never thought to be prominent species in our lakes, was rediscovered in this week in Kotka. Scientists think this might be one off thing, maybe it wondered over here from Karjala or from nearby fisheries, but this means the catfish can live in our lakes. I know this doesn't break records like the coelacanth, but I think it's neat to have some wildlife news from my country. Before you ask what happened to the catfish, it was transported to the local public aquariums, where it's hold for quarantine for few weeks until its gonna be publicly available to view. Said aquarium holds every native fish species to the Finnish waters. I know locally extinct species should be returned to the wild, but scientists don't know if there's local population of catfish in Finland, they decided it's better for it to teach people of its past and present than disappear into the murky waters of Finland, maybe not to be seen ever again.

[@all.about.nature1987]

Y grandparents used to live on San Juan Island and I've been in the historic park so many times. I wish I knew about these so I could look for them.

[@OlyChickenGuy]

@all.about.nature1987 The San Juans area is just a bit north of my familiarity, but I'm yet to leave the region. It's really exciting to learn about these little beauties, because I love photographing small things like mosses, insects, and the intricacies of flower sexy bits; ESPECIALLY because they're things I don't know much about. It would be really fun if I were to be able to plan a visit to the park while the butterflies are around, just for the chance to see one, and MAYBE be lucky enough to photograph it. Your channel has brought a new lens to my approach to photography, as well. I'm already looking for things I'm unfamiliar with, and I've recently begun using Seek (iNaturalist) to help familiarise myself with what I'm looking at, but your channel has also caused me to start asking, "What if this is the last time anyone documents this species?" With that question in mind, I strive to take the best photos I can to capture as many field markers that I see as clearly as possible. My previous photos more or less just followed an artistic eye and the thought, "Huh, that's interesting." PS- Your previous coverage of the Helmetshrike inspired me to include it in a project I'm currently working on to paint a bunch of birds. There's 130 birds in my project, 97 have completed line work, and 28 have been painted. I'll be working on the Helmetshrike page as soon as I start painting again, and I'd love to share it with you once complete. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, so I could also celebrate its rediscovery in art. PPS- If you need any high quality photos of PNW native plants or fungi that I can get to (mostly plains, cedar forests, and wetlands of the South Sound region), let me know. Arthropods and molluscs are also things I can keep an eye out for, but my luck with capturing them isn't guaranteed, and my wildlife photography - though improving - is far from being able to offer help unless I already have a good photo to offer (Great Blue Heron, juvi Sharp-Shinned Hawk, California Quail, Steller's Jays, etc.). My offer is absolutely free (I'd appreciate credit, but not advertisement, if that makes sense), and I can either email photos or I'm open to learning about sharing full resolution images, because I'm yet to figure that out.

[@pidgeonlanding]

It's wild how some species can just vanish for decades, then suddenly be seen near the same spot. Some are known by locals, but nothing is reported since they didn't know we had "lost" them. I used to search "birds rediscovered" every few months, was wild when they reappear. I also keep a tab on my phone for a website that tracks birds that could still exist.

[@all.about.nature1987]

Oh for sure. Probably plenty of "regular" people see these species, but just don't know how rare they are

This may sound foolish of me to say as it is unlikely but I want to believe that the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō is still out there. Only more elusive than ever. The island isn’t big, and I know Hawaii has done effort and effort to locate this bird and further protect its remaining endemic species. But for whatever reason I really can’t seem to accept its extinction just yet. Also I feel like I’ve seen the ivory billed woodpecker before here in SC. I can’t remember when in childhood I saw it but it’s distinct from other woodpeckers - enough so to leave a lasting image in my head many years later.

thank you for mentioning why the local people hunt gray’s bald faced saki - to survive! so often i see people blaming locals hunting the animals as if these aren’t what they’ve hunted for generations to survive, and as if climate change, deforestation, etc are their fault and not that of corporations coming in from overseas. they lived on that land for centuries with no issues with over hunting or widespread extinction until it was colonized and destroyed, and now they’ve been oppressed so have no way out/no other way to survive, or are just trying to maintain their way of life. a lot of times the locals who hunt endangered animals are involved in conservation efforts. the fact that people would blame them instead of others’ greed without considering the position they’re in or the way they’re still fighting for themselves and their land is infuriating to me lol.

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

Anybody that kills an animal for food is doing it to survive. The double standards piss me off tbh. The primitives get a pass for killing an endangered animal, but if a normal western person killed the monkey for food they would be shamed and persecuted. Nobody is forcing the primitives to live where they do, they aren't banned from going to towns and getting normal jobs

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

What you're saying is complete BULLSHIT. Natives and primitives have hunted animals to extinction plenty of times. They simply didn't care or understand the implications. Laughable that people like you still try to push this colonization agenda
