Watch researchers adorable reaction to capturing rare photos | Humankind #Shorts

The world waited 140 years for a photo of this rare bird. These researchers just captured it. 🥺

“This species had not been documented since 1882 and had never been photographed. Seeing photos of this elusive, almost mythical, bird walking past our camera was the most surreal and fulfilling experience we could have ever imagined.”

it's nice to see ppl care about animals this much

[RoMaMa]

It's amazing how it moves its tail feathers up and down. It looks like a chicken and bird. Beautiful! I hope they could round them up and they start making babies. This world is falling apart and many animals are becoming instinct.

This is amazing I hope you all get recognition for what you've done. 140 years is a long time. Be In fact it's a couple generations.🐓

Lol....I thought the whooping at the end by the two men were them mimicking the bird's call. I had to watch it again....I am so embarrassed! Congratulations for a job well done.

Wouldn’t it have been a catastrophe if all the noise and antics caused the bird to fly away before they got a photo
