In this video, we're looking at 5 "extinct" animals that were found still alive.
1. Australian Night Parrot
2. Seychelles Giant Tortoise
3. Cuban Solenodon
4. Voeltzkow's Chameleon
5. Bermuda Petrel

Somehow I said the Seychelles are in the South Pacific instead of the Indian Ocean. 🤦🏼‍♂️
Sorry for the error.

I did a presentation on “endangered species” in 2013, and the animal I chose was the “extinct” night parrot. Technically this was not allowed, it needed to be an endangered species, not an extinct one, but I still did it because I believed night parrots were still out there. I was like 10 at the time. Years later hearing about the discovery of living populations made me feel strangely vindicated.

Good on David Wingate! Imagine finding 15 specimens of an animal as a teen. Then 70 years later, thanks to YOU, that species is up to ~5000 in size. What an accomplishment!

The algorithm is so ineffective now, I feel lucky to have discovered this channel. Keep it up!

You channel deserves to be watched far more! These species are enormously precious and important and you are doing a great job of raising awareness about them.

I love watching as I learn so much. These videos should be required in schools so kids grow up with the knowledge and appreciation of species that could very well be saved. Thank you for your wonderful content.

Let’s all hope more species will be rediscovered

Top notch content as always! Congrats on the doubling of subscribers and hope you get many more! As a Bermudian, its heartwarming to see a vide including Cahows and Dr Wingate's efforts to bring their numbers back up. Really a lovely gentleman. Keep up the awesome work on your vids!

This creator's videos are very calming and soothing to watch and listen to. And, highly informative.

I'm happy to have found your content so early on with the "Lost for Centuries" video and the "Failed Reintroductions " video. Can't wait to see you blow up :D

Humans have the capability to mitigate the ecocide brought about by our own ignorance in the past and even the present still. Stories like these give me hope and motivation to be a part of the solution

Recently stumbled upon your channel and seen it grow 3x since then, would love to see videos about present day critically endangered species, efforts to save them, ways for us viewers to help them via donations or volunteering. Love your calming presentation style :)
