The Animals That Came Back From Extinction

If you had to rebuild a species from scratch, what skill would you want most? These animals came back from extinction, kind of. Long believed to be gone forever, these animals were hiding, waiting for the right moment to return or for a keen eye to find them. Today, over 70 species are known to have been considered extinct and have since returned. These are the Lazarus species. Examining the nature of the beast. From apex predators to the planet's strangest creatures, Animalogic goes deep into the science, behavior, and biology of the animal kingdom, one species at a time. 📗 Get The Book + 10% off with code ANIMALOGIC10 [https://mdsh.io/animalogic] 📗 Strange Creatures [http://bit.ly/animalogicbook] — animal facts and original illustrations from the Animalogic team. ───────────────────────────── JOIN THE COMMUNITY 🎵 TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@animalogic] 📘 Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/AnimalogicShow] 📸 Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/animalogicshow/] ───────────────────────────── SUPPORT ANIMALOGIC 👕 Merch [https://bit.ly/3SXGrXL] ❤️ Member perks [https://bit.ly/AnimalogicMembership] 🙏 Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/animalogic] ───────────────────────────── MORE FROM UNDERKNOWN 🔬 What If – Science Hypotheticals [https://bit.ly/youtube-What-If] 🧠 Aperture – Philosophy & Psychology [https://bit.ly/aperture-show] 🆘 How to Survive – Survival Science [https://bit.ly/how-to-survive-show] ───────────────────────────── 📩 Brand partnerships & collaborations: contact@underknown.com Produced by Underknown: Underknown [https://underknown.com] 00:00: What is a Lazarus Taxon? 01:29: The Coelacanth: The most famous "Living Fossil" 07:38: Lord Howe Island Stick Insect: The "Tree Lobster" 09:41: The Takahē: New Zealand’s twice-resurrected bird 11:23: Cuban Solenodon: A venomous relic from the dinosaur era 13:08: Peruvian Yellow-tailed Woolly Monkey: The cloud forest mystery 13:46: Wondiwoi Tree-Kangaroo: Lost for 90 years 14:58: Recent Discoveries: New Guinea’s 7,000-year-old "ghosts" 15:45: The importance of looking closer #Lazarusspecies #extinctanimals #animalkingdom #science #behavior #biology #apexpredators #strangecreatures #conservation #biodiversity #wildlife #nature See show notes: https://inlet.fm/animalogic/episodes/69fe24a9607d586324244f65 [https://inlet.fm/animalogic/episodes/69fe24a9607d586324244f65] Learn more about your ad choices.
