Believed Extinct Animals That Are Still Alive

Jul 29, 2019

It’s upsetting when we hear about any animal being extinct or disappeared. However the excitement is on another level when we spot any of such specie and see that they are alive from hundreds of years. Let’s check out some such undiscovered creatures that we thought were dead but in reality they have been spotted.

The Laotian Rock Rat

This unique creature from the rodent family was thought to be dead until the indigenous tribes of Laos discovered it.

Nocturnal Gracilidris Ant

Scientists though that these ants have been extinct 15 MILLION years ago but recently they have been found in Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. They stay in deep underground because of which people could not spot it.

Coelacanth

This famous Lazarus species was believed to have vanished until 1938, when the fish suddenly turned up in fishing net. It is still alive and cannot be easily spotted because it dwells in the depths.

Pygmy Tarsier

They are the World’s smallest mammal, less than 4 inches long. They were finally found in a mouse trap in 2000.

Clarion Nightsnake

This oddly patterned snake was discovered by a research group in 1914. They have survived for almost 80 years and are still living without any disturbance.

New Guinea Big-Eared Bat

These kinds of bats were believed to have died long back but recently an Australian group went to Guinea to study the habitat of different bats. After coming back they were confused with one of the specimen but finally found it and revealed that it was a Big-Eared Bat which was seen after 120 years.

Guinea Highland Singing Dog

Guinea’s popular singing dogs were alleged to have been extinct but in 2016 it were spotted in the deep forest and the surprising part was, it was pregnant.
