Rediscovered species
They're called "Lazarus species" — creatures that have disappeared, sometimes for millions of years, only to miraculously be rediscovered again in modern times. Just as Lazarus was raised from the dead by Jesus in the Gospel of John, so these species manage to survive. Their rediscoveries are a bewildering reminder that when given a chance, life finds a way to survive. Here's a short list of 13 animals long-feared extinct that, in fact, have been rediscovered.

those animals are so cool i hope they don't go extinct that would be bad
awow
yay for pretty endangered species that everyone that actually knew about them thought they were dead and now they found out that they are actually alive and not dead.yayyyy!!!
I am so glad that these guys may get a second chance. Even this opportunity for people to see them and find some awe in the diversity of species on our planet is really something. It would be a loss to the world to never have the opportunity to learn what we can of what each of these amazing creatures can show and teach us.
I'm not quite sure what your questions is. If you're looking for a lesson in photography, I cannot help you there. I am an anthropologist, proficient in both the cultural and the evolutionary (or biological) fields, not a photographer. You might want to direct your photography questions to a different forum. By the way, that would be Ms. Smarty Pants please. Let's stay away from the patriarchal view that because one is well-informed in scientifically related topics, one must be male..... More
There are approximately 6.7 billion humans existing on this planet right now. A number that has so far doubled every 50 years. According to Jane Goodall (Scientist and Primetologist) there are approximately 1,300-1,700 species of animals in danger of extinction. The amount of endangered primates, including chimps, orangutans, gorillas left on this planet might just barely fill one football stadium.
Though extinctions of species have occured in the past due environmental causes,.... More

I feel the same way if everyone would wake n see the world as it is n not by what a book that was wrote by a man for a man
Yes! Men led by God's Holy Spirit! :DD
all these animals are awesome
I realize that the headline for this article has somewhat of a religious connotation, but how did we stray so drastically from formerly extinct animals to a full on religious argument?
Put all of your differences aside for the briefest of moments to realize that this article isn't about your beliefs and personal views, but about attempting to raise awareness towards animals that (due to mostly extreme human impact) were thought to no longer exist in our world. We should be realizing the.... More
i bet 90 percent of you didn't even look at the other animals on this list. Sad really i guess not funny.................
The only true path to salvation lies in following the Ori and the teachings of Origin. He will grant eternal life to all who follow the path.
Those who do not will face eternal damnation.

god has nothing to do with these species, you freaks.
Its just an article, I love that creatures have found a way to survice. This is what should be talked about here. Save your religious stuff for church. This artical is about amazing surviving creatures. They deserve their 2nd chance.
r u ppl serious. this is f***in imature. tlkin all this **** tht aint even bout these f***in extinct animals. u guys just dnt hv a life, u need 2 go get 1 n get the f*** over this bs
Sad, how did u find out God left and is coming back? Great imagination. lol
Jesus is the Truth, Life and Way!! Jesus loves EVERYONE! So if you just turn your back on this sinful world, then you will be on your way towards the Lord! The world is sin. Sin is death and God is eternal life & peace! So come on people! Wake up and Start living for Jesus!! All Glory to God!! :DD
If this world is sin n everything in it is sin just kill yourself save all of us that don't care about your scared and uneducated belief in something that has no facts or proof of being true the agony of hearing one more holy roly hipocrit preach to us educated enough to know that creatures evolve and survive by will not by some make believe character for the weak minded to believe in
I will pray for you, my friend! You know, I use to think like that and was too blind to see, but you have to know that those are the words of the enemy. & You have to overcome that, sweetie! & to let you know, I am died to this world, but was reborn with the Blood of Jesus! Now I am living and it feels amazing! So you have to know that the evil things you are saying are not affecting me at all. How, you ask? Well, because my Faith is extremely strong! It can't be weaken but only.... More
Turn your back on the world.....right......and miss everything this world has to offer us. Sounds like you're just waiting to die.......
Let me know how that goes when those golden gates don't appear for you and your body is just a decomposing mass going right back into mother earth:-) i love nature and evolution:-)
It might seem that way to you, but truthfully I already died and now living the way God meant for us to live. I am reborn with the Blood of Jesus and now I am a new creature..... You know it is really sad that you feel like this. Although it hurts me so much how the enemy has blind, I did my job warning the misguided, but I will continue pray for you, my friend. You might love "nature and evolution." BUT I love you and MOST OF ALL God Loves you!! My God is Fair & Holy! God Bless you &.... More
Everything this world has to offer? Like what? Hangovers? Dope addiction? Unwarranted pregnancy? Broken relationships? Emotional and psyhoclogical wounds? Fraud and theft? Your personal gratification which the majority of the time is vain, selifsh and self destructive? But as long as you "feel good" that justifies it or as long as i do it just to myself? Wow how despicable. The majority of human behavior is due to deficiencies such as a substantial number of the things you might descrive as.... More
Okay, I believe in God, but you sound like an idiot. Why the hell did you post your original comment in this? It's about extinct animals. And I agree with some of the other person's comments, you seem to be in an uncomfortable hurry to die. To get back to the actual prmise of this article, I think it's wonderful that these animals were able to survive despite man's vigorous attempts to destroy them.
There is a difference of believing in God and having a relationship with Him, my brother. I was led by God's Holy Spirit that lives in me to do so, to answer your question. He gave me the gift so i am going to use it to spread His Word. Who are you to go against His Work when I have God with me? I will pray for you so you can understand! :DD
I never said I didn't have a relationship with Him. Do not assume things about me. Please don't pray for me. I don't want the annoyancy that is you to muck up my relationship with Him.
I'm ending this conversation now, because it has no relevance to this article. As your original comment did not.
Jesus Loves YOU! You are my brother and I love you, too! I will leave you with this. God opposes those who are pride and give grace to those who are humble. :DD
Why are some of you mad????? What is your problem that you can't treat others as you would treat yourselves............It really does not matter if you talk about GOD or animals..........look through the stuff if you are looking for animals............What is the REAL problem with you????? Ask yourselves..........
You cant see it but secretly Im flipping you off. Okay so I moded myself. This is still pathetic !
Take your issues elsewhere....................
too funny... apparently you have issues. if your responding.
Suck My D*ck Dude Im done .
OMG THE WORLD ISNT GOING TO END GOD DOESNT HATE YOU ALL ANIMALS PEOPLE ANIMALS ! AND PLEASE DONT START WITH THE MATURE CRAP WITH ME ITS NOT CUUUUUTE !
vivian isn't 12, dj is. and im only a couple of years only. Please be more mature. now i almost finish my homework i'm going to sleep now.
Isn't this article about EXTINCT ANIMALS ? I mean really , and Vivian is 12 ? And you guys are tripping off her why ? Stop replying to her she is just trying to get a rise out of people . It's pathetic use your head ! You guys are in your 20s talking sh*t to a 12 year old . Obviously she has issues so stop making them worse . She also probably thinks she's the sh*t because people are arguing with her ! I WOULD KNOW I USED TO DO THAT CRAP AND IT GOT ANNOYING . ANIMAL EXTICT ANIMALS NOT RELIGION.... More
i meant december 31st
gosh... so naive. the end has no timeline get that to your head people.
Can we talk about something besides religion? I want to talk about these animals... I personally think that the bird was awesome.
I still can't get over the coelecanth, it's amazing how little they have changed over millions of years. They're practically dinosaurs, I think it's so amazing that these species came back! btw, if you enjoyed this mnn had an article about hybrids that's real interesting...less arguing there too lol
Where I live we have lots of Storm Petrels, so and they are my favorite bird species. I cannot even believe how amazing it is that the Bermuda petrels were found =].
They were so awesome. And that rat, mouse, and marsupial were all so cute. I'm so glad they aren't extinct.
Did the world end December 1st because its the end of our calendar? no!!??? then why should it end at the end of the Mayan calendar?
Who Cares, the world will end in 2012 anyway
Yes the world will end 2012 because the Spanish conquistadors came over in massive wooden ships, waged an all out war on the Mayans who wore almost nothing using fire arms and body armor and indigenous mercenaries causing the mathematical and scientific calculations of the Mayan nation to come to a grinding halt on a particular day…history backs me up….what about your idea of the world ending 2012???
Hopefully it's just mankind that ends in 2012.....the world deserves another chance without the monstrosity of us.......
seriously. -_-
i wouldn't know luis. to some its obvious they are being another person, but then i dont know you or them .. so i guess it is a possibility.
Like i said, people just come here to be different people and try to outsmart other people. They contradict themselves.
You people are so rude and mean . I'm 13 what are you guys like 20 or 30 something ? That's a shame that you guys can't control your outbursts . And are just cowards because you are doing this on the internet .
every1 just uses the internet to try to be another person huh?
