Every Crazy Extinct Animal That Might Actually Still Be Alive

Описание: In 1936, the last Tasmanian tiger died in a zoo—except people in Tasmania never actually stopped seeing them. I'm going through extinct animals that might still be alive, from the thylacine with hundreds of sightings reported by park rangers to the ivory-billed woodpecker that's literally the Elvis of ornithology (people have staked entire careers on whether it's dead). The Fernandina giant tortoise was extinct for 112 years until they found a living female just walking around in 2019, and the baiji dolphin was declared functionally extinct in 2007 but people keep capturing footage that looks suspiciously like survivors in the Yangtze River. Because here's the thing—proving extinction is surprisingly hard when you're dealing with massive old-growth swamps, remote Siberian wilderness, or small islands with thick jungle where even confirmed species go months without being photographed.
