Myanmar’s Jerdon’s Babbler
For more then 70 years this rare little bird went without being seen. In fact, its last actual observation was in July 1941. After the species’s long absence, the animal was declared extinct and “written out of the birding books,” according to Scientific American. But, a team of researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society were shocked to find several of them living in Myanmar in May 2014. Welcome back to the real world little birds, time to spread you wings and fly!

The Lord Howe Stick Insect
These not-so cute/pretty insects grow freakishly large which gave them their name as “tree lobsters.” These large (very large) insects were introduced by humans in the early 1900s. And for nearly 50 years majority of people assumed they were extinct but they weren’t! They actually found many living survivors who were under a single bush. What troopers these guys are!
