  • Two researchers in Fergusson Island, Papua New Guinea, shared their enthusiastic reaction when they realised they had the first-ever photos of the black-naped pheasant-pigeon, a bird that hasn’t been documented in the past 140 years.
    Footage recorded on September 29 by Jordan Boersma shows his colleague Doka Nason’s reaction to photos taken on their trailcam the day before. After a few moments of stunned disbelief, the two are heard and seen celebrating their find.
    “This is the happiest moment ever,” Nason is heard saying. “My legs are shivering.”
    Boersma told Storyful that he searched with Nason and a team of scientists and conservationists for a month for this critically endangered and potentially extinct species. The team were rewarded by the sighting on their very last day of their search.
    “This species had not been documented since 1882 and had never been photographed,” Boersma told Storyful. “Seeing photos of this elusive, almost mythical, bird walking past our camera was the most surreal and fulfilling experience we could have ever imagined.”
    Jason Gregg of the American Bird Conservancy captured video of the bird, including its charming tail movement.

      I'm just curious if this bird hasn't been seen in 140 years and this is the first picture since then. How are there so many pictures on Google of them in the wild? Are they A. I. Pictures

      @@josephspagnola9884 I like that (critical thinking), but, if you seen something that hasn't been seen in 140yrs, you'd probably take more than one picture. I'm sure, 140yrs ago, multiple pictures were taken. But, it is 2024 maybe it's AI🤷🏿‍♂️
