The terrible news that the red list of endangered animals around the world is increasing more and more, undoubtedly breaks our hearts.
However, recently recognized media have revealed that several species have come back to life, yes, as you have read.
An amazing fact that no one can explain, here we tell you 10 animals that have risen from the ashes.
1.Giant lizard of La Palma
Originally from the island of La Palma, Canary Islands, like many other species, its main threat was man and for more than 2 thousand years it struggled to survive, however, at the end of the 20th century it was believed to be extinct. To everyone’s surprise, in 2007 it was found by Spanish scientists, but when researchers returned to the place, they could not find another specimen.
2. Gracilidris ant
Scientists thought that this species had disappeared 15 million years ago, since they had only found fossils of them. But, in 2006, a group of researchers managed to find many of them in South America.
3. Megachile pluto bee
It was the Global Wildlife Conservation organization that managed to find some specimens of this huge bee that lives on the Indonesian islands, which had not been seen since 1981.
4. Almiquí from Cuba
This animal was found for the first time in 1861 and only 36 specimens were caught until 1890, so it was declared extinct. However, in 1973 3 of them were found and it was determined that they were elusive.
5. Lord Howe Island Stick Insect
This species, known as Dryococelus australis, by science, was found in 2001 during an expedition in Australia, causing great astonishment because it was thought that rats had killed them, however, the great discovery changed everything and soon They will be reintroduced into their habitat.
6. Fernandina tortoise of the Galapagos
The species Chelonoidis phantasticus was found on Fernandina Island in the Galapagos archipelago, after not being seen in more than 100 years, everyone thought the species was extinct. The most fascinating thing is that where it was found, traces of other animals of its species were also found, possibly there are more specimens.
7. Cheating
Due to the excessive hunting of this New Zealand bird, it was believed to be extinct in the middle of the 19th century. Fortunately, in 1948 it was rediscovered by Dr. Geoffrey Orbell in 1948 and since then everything possible has been done to protect the species.
8. Black Leopard
It was believed to be extinct after not being seen in more than 100 years. This mystical animal was found in a Kenyan national park after several weeks of surveillance.
9. Coelacanth
He was reunited with this species in 1938, unleashing a great debate in the scientific community since they did not know how to classify it. There is a record of two species of this animal, one found in the Comoro Islands of Africa and another that inhabits the waters of Sulawesi in Indonesia.
10. Java Elephant
It was thought that this species had become extinct in the 19th century, but it was not until 2008 that descendants of these animals were revealed, fortunately they were saved by a sultan who set them free in the jungle.
