Is That a Thylacine? Camera Trap Footage Released But Experts Dismiss Claims of Rediscovery - CNet

As we previously reported, the president of the Thylacine Awareness Group in Australia was excited that his camera trap had caught proof of the existence of the Tasmanian Tiger. Only it wasn't. Now we see the photos and experts who know what details to look for believe the photos are of another marsupial called a Pandelemon. However in Asia, This Bird Wasn’t Seen for 170 Years. Then It Appeared in an Indonesian Forest . News the Black Browed Babbler, a bird that has been "missing" these past 170 years, has the Indonesian ornithology community losing their bird loving minds. Rightly so, since not only is this (adorable!) bird not extinct, the data on hand was inaccurate and they now have an opportunity to learn from living specimens. Think this is the end of the good news? Wait, there's more! Missing for Almost 100 Years: The Rare And Potentially Threatened Bee, Pharohylaeus Lactiferus has been rediscovered as a result of "extensive sampling of 225 general and 20 targeted sampling sites across New South Wales and Queensland." Australia hasn't been tremendously conscious of its impact on its own ecology, having clear cut its way across the country, so a discovery like this merits not only celebration, but serious and intentional conservation efforts. We need to remember that if the human race disappears, no wild creatures are going to wonder where we went. (CM)
