      Ok, I can’t stop laughing at your comment @Connor Brown.
      1) I’ve had to stay isolated in my home for the past couple of years due to being immunocompromised - which isn’t as horrible as it might sound. My husband was able to switch to working from home for the most part, and we have 3 dogs to keep me company on the rare occasion where he gets called out & has to be away for a few days. Plus I see & visit with the rest of the fam & friends online all the time. (Plus I’m not exactly an extroverted person normally anyhow).
      2). Not long after I had to start isolating, we converted the front room of our home into a studio for me to do my crafts in (sewing, painting, etc - I’m retired, but thankfully all my hobbies pay for themselves thanks to occasional commissions & online sale of my work). The whole reason we did this is due to having been born with severely impaired sight & my needing all of the natural light of that particular room to see by.
      My sight issues couldn’t be fixed at birth nor even today via corrective laser surgery. Then I began to develop cataracts in my 40’s, and found out they could implant a lens that could correct most of the issues I’ve struggled with. I was booked to have surgery Jan 2020, but it was understandably put off due to the pandemic, which is fine as it gave us time to save up for the rather pricey lenses. Finally was able to have the surgery (both eyes at once) 2 1/2 weeks ago & can now see clearer than I ever have in my life, which is beyond fantastic, except…
      I’m currently so light sensitive that I can’t see a dang thing in my studio, not even with the curtains drawn, so I’m now doing all my orders & projects at night. I’m well aware that this is totally a “first world problem” & please know I’m absolutely NOT complaining - just found it really funny to realize that I have so much in common with a Coelacanth 😂🤣
      Apologies for this stupidly long comment. Greatly appreciate the laugh - hope you’re having a great day.

      Would be nice, but it's highly unlikely. Southern Australia and Tasmania are densely populated enough that an animal that large is simply not likely to go unnoticed for the last 90 years. Like the Lord Howe island stick bug, Thylacines best hope is if it still exists on an isolated island. With luck we have some DNA preserved and one day might be able to bring it back.

      I hate what society wants us to care about. I dont care about any celebrities life or baby. I think stuff like this should always make the news. I mean think of it. Every day species go extinct and new ones are found. I think the world we live in views science as this collection of facts set in stone while its actually more of the story of everything. Scientists piece together that story of everything. Now people who dont like science will probably ask: why do we even do science .why do we bash things together when were toddlers? Curiosity. See those same ppl indicate that there is a major flaw in the way we think nowadays. Part of the problem being the education system. Science is the most human thing to do. Ppl usually only are interested in science if something new is discovered that can improve their day to day life in some way but sometimes... its just exiting to find a species we thought was extinct. In the grand scheme of the ever expanding cosmos knowing what kim kardashians babys name is is basically random information. Science on the other hand has long term effects. Whether a new species of microorganism is found or we figure out how to colonize mars, everything will be stored in the collective knowledge of the scientific community and those same discoveries can alter our lives drastically far beyond knowing what kim ks babys name is- me some geeky 12 year old

It caused much excitement when very small numbers were discovered on South Island in 1948. It is still a rare bird, but probably not quite as rare as it used to be.

    I had the absolute privilege of spending two weeks at Melbourne Zoo helping to look after the Lord Howe Island Stick Insects. They're absolutely amazing, bizarre creatures. They love to huddle in massive groups, and remind me a lot of spiders, in the way that they look and walk. The baby stick insects are bright green, and turn darker and darker into maturity when they are completely black. I didn't get to see Vanessa as she is in quarantine, although the glasshouse she resides in is incredibly impressive. I really hope one day these prehistoric stick insects can be returned to their home on Lord Howe Island. The Invert team at Melbourne Zoo do phenomenal job in caring for them and keeping the species alive.

    Ok so you want cool animals to come back, because yeah, they are cool or well known, but did you ever think about why it went extinct and that under the actual circumstances, they wouldn't last any longer or even suffer more? they got wiped out for a reason, most of the ones that most people mention went extinct either because other species got most of the food and resources (that's actually why Thylacines ended up being exclusive to Tasmania!) or because they were actually super vulnerable and were a very good resource for the blooming human race, you can't just say "lol, Steller's sea cows are so cute, I prefer to starve to avoid killing such pretty animals" No! So remember, adapt or die, these actually extinct animals WOULD NOT thrive in this time, a specie disappearing means a lot of change and just bringing it back will do more harm than good

      It's not so much "debunking". It's about the models you have.

Turned out a twit of a South Australian Governor 100 odd years ago had gone to NZ for another government posting & decided to create a zoo of exotic animals there & took everything from zebras to wallabies with him. Bad news for NZ's wildlife, but lucky for the tamar wallabies. The Australian government eventually went & collected some & brought them back to Australia for a breeding program

    Coelacanth look like the inspiration for the Lavasloth from the Monster Hunter series...interesting.
    Monoplacophoran shells are also rather fascinating in their structure on an artistic and biological level. I’ve heard they’re rather textured naturally, more so than crab undersides.
    Also, Laotian Rock Rats look super adorable.

    Coelacanths aren't "simple" they have some pretty advanced features compared to other fish including bearing live young and an electric field sensing organ inside their braincase. The brain stops growing while the fish is young but the skull keeps growing and the extra space is filled by fat tissue and the sensory organ. They also have a weird lung-like buoyancy organ filled with fat that seems to have evolved independently from the air filled swim bladders of ray finned fishes.

      Your second sentence could apply to human teenagers.

    I swear I once heard of a species of rodent that was thought to be extinct but the showed up on a photographers doorstep, had it's pictures taken, and was never seen again. But idk.

    Hahaha Vanessa is definitely living her best life lol 😂
    Edit; Why do they show a guy talking and giant words on a basic colored background instead of ACTUAL images of the animals about which they're referring?!
    I'm guessing most people who came here did so to actually SEE these, "once thought extinct," animals lol I definitely didn't come here to see some science dork.

      And can't see color, so maybe if we solved light pollution, we can solve racism as well :p
