Animals We Thought Were Gone Forever | 7 Species That Almost Went Extinct

Sometimes an animal long thought to be extinct reappears decades or centuries later, shocking scientists! Join Hank Green for a look at seven species that we thought were gone forever... but are back to (hopefully) stay for good!
We're conducting a survey of our viewers! If you have time, please give us feedback: www.surveymonkey.com/r/SciSho...

    Ok, I can’t stop laughing at your comment @Connor Brown. 1) I’ve had to stay isolated in my home for the past couple of years due to being immunocompromised - which isn’t as horrible as it might sound. My husband was able to switch to working from home for the most part, and we have 3 dogs to keep me company on the rare occasion where he gets called out & has to be away for a few days. Plus I see & visit with the rest of the fam & friends online all the time. (Plus I’m not exactly an extroverted person normally anyhow). 2). Not long after I had to start isolating, we converted the front room of our home into a studio for me to do my crafts in (sewing, painting, etc - I’m retired, but thankfully all my hobbies pay for themselves thanks to occasional commissions & online sale of my work). The whole reason we did this is due to having been born with severely impaired sight & my needing all of the natural light of that particular room to see by. My sight issues couldn’t be fixed at birth nor even today via corrective laser surgery. Then I began to develop cataracts in my 40’s, and found out they could implant a lens that could correct most of the issues I’ve struggled with. I was booked to have surgery Jan 2020, but it was understandably put off due to the pandemic, which is fine as it gave us time to save up for the rather pricey lenses. Finally was able to have the surgery (both eyes at once) 2 1/2 weeks ago & can now see clearer than I ever have in my life, which is beyond fantastic, except… I’m currently so light sensitive that I can’t see a dang thing in my studio, not even with the curtains drawn, so I’m now doing all my orders & projects at night. I’m well aware that this is totally a “first world problem” & please know I’m absolutely NOT complaining - just found it really funny to realize that I have so much in common with a Coelacanth 😂🤣 Apologies for this stupidly long comment. Greatly appreciate the laugh - hope you’re having a great day.

    Would be nice, but it's highly unlikely. Southern Australia and Tasmania are densely populated enough that an animal that large is simply not likely to go unnoticed for the last 90 years. Like the Lord Howe island stick bug, Thylacines best hope is if it still exists on an isolated island. With luck we have some DNA preserved and one day might be able to bring it back.

    I had the absolute privilege of spending two weeks at Melbourne Zoo helping to look after the Lord Howe Island Stick Insects. They're absolutely amazing, bizarre creatures. They love to huddle in massive groups, and remind me a lot of spiders, in the way that they look and walk. The baby stick insects are bright green, and turn darker and darker into maturity when they are completely black. I didn't get to see Vanessa as she is in quarantine, although the glasshouse she resides in is incredibly impressive. I really hope one day these prehistoric stick insects can be returned to their home on Lord Howe Island. The Invert team at Melbourne Zoo do phenomenal job in caring for them and keeping the species alive.

It caused much excitement when very small numbers were discovered on South Island in 1948. It is still a rare bird, but probably not quite as rare as it used to be.

    I hate what society wants us to care about. I dont care about any celebrities life or baby. I think stuff like this should always make the news. I mean think of it. Every day species go extinct and new ones are found. I think the world we live in views science as this collection of facts set in stone while its actually more of the story of everything. Scientists piece together that story of everything. Now people who dont like science will probably ask: why do we even do science .why do we bash things together when were toddlers? Curiosity. See those same ppl indicate that there is a major flaw in the way we think nowadays. Part of the problem being the education system. Science is the most human thing to do. Ppl usually only are interested in science if something new is discovered that can improve their day to day life in some way but sometimes... its just exiting to find a species we thought was extinct. In the grand scheme of the ever expanding cosmos knowing what kim kardashians babys name is is basically random information. Science on the other hand has long term effects. Whether a new species of microorganism is found or we figure out how to colonize mars, everything will be stored in the collective knowledge of the scientific community and those same discoveries can alter our lives drastically far beyond knowing what kim ks babys name is- me some geeky 12 year old

    Awesome video :) You missed out my favourite though, the mainland Tamar wallaby from South Australia, believed extinct until New Zealand did a survey of animals on one of their islands they wanted to clear of ferals to create a "noahs ark" for their endangered species & they found the "extinct" Aussie wallaby there (the critically endangered eastern brush tail rock wallabies from NSW were on the island too). Turned out a twit of a South Australian Governor 100 odd years ago had gone to NZ for another government posting & decided to create a zoo of exotic animals there & took everything from zebras to wallabies with him. Bad news for NZ's wildlife, but lucky for the tamar wallabies. The Australian government eventually went & collected some & brought them back to Australia for a breeding program

    Thanks for great video! Also heard about several types of apes, wich was considered to be gone forever, but not long ago, after the war in Vietnam. But they was found there alive:)

    I love hearing about Aussie species that are doing alright, or at least better! For once, I’m rooting for an insect larger than any insect I’d want to find in my house!
