Mountain Pygmy Possum
Australia boasts some of the weirdest creatures that have ever roamed our planet. For almost one hundred years, the popular belief was that the mountain pygmy possum was extinct. Then, out of all places in the world, someone spotted one in 1966 at a ski resort. Today we only know of about 100 living.

How incredible is it that a bird which became extinct in 1867, was rediscovered in 2006? That’s right. A wild population of these birds happened to be living in an area of Thailand. In order to be sure of their link to their “extinct” ancestors, a DNA test was done and proved what they wished to know.
