The Clarion Nightsnake
This slithering snake hid on a remote island for 80 years — not a bad idea! The Clarion nightsnake is so rare, biologists had erased it from the scientific record. The serpent wasn’t so easy to find, either. Biologists traveled to a remote island off the coast of Mexico — along with a military escort — to search for the nightsnake. He must’ve been enjoying some peace and quiet.

This animal was initially discovered in 1841. It was thought to be extinct by 1909. However, it was seen again in 1994 and they were compared to the fossil records. They were confirmed. Currently these semi-cute little marsupials total up to less than 100. We wonder if they’ll discover more — only time will tell.
