An ‘extinct’ animal known as the Jerdon’s babbler (Chrysomma altirostre<\/em>) has been found to not actually be extinct after all, after being ‘rediscovered’ by researchers working in Myanmar.<\/p>\n I guess this means that even if you’re declared extinct, that perhaps you’re not necessarily actually extinct…. Well if you’re lucky anyways… And being a small, easy to not notice animal like a bird, probably helps as well. I can’t imagine a Stellar’s sea cow, or a European lion, or an aurochs, being ‘rediscovered’.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The recent rediscovery occurred near to where the last sighting (in July 1941) occurred as well — in grasslands near the town of Myitkyo, Bago Region near the Sittaung River. Specifically, the rediscovery of the ‘extinct animal’ occurred on May 30, 2014, near an abandoned agricultural outpost that still contained some grassland habitat.<\/p>\n (Those interested in information on other near extinct animals (that aren’t quite ‘truly’ there yet either) are recommended to read: Near Extinct Animals, Mediterranean Monk Seal, Axolotl Mexican Salamander, Tiger Spider, Southern Bluefin Tuna, & Alabama Cavefish<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
