Pygmy Tarsier
The little cutie with large eyes had not been observed for nearly 85 year years and was believed to be extinct until of course a team of researchers, guided by a Texas A&M University professor, caught one in a remote park in Indonesia in 2008.
Black-Footed Ferret
These adorable ferrets are known as North America’s rarest mammal by the National Wildlife Federation. They are a member of the weasel family, which were hurt by habitat loss and disease, and eventually declared extinct in 1979. Miraculously just a mere two years later, a ranch dog brought a dead one home to his owners, John and Lucille Hogg, The Los Angeles Times reported that this gave conservationists hope. Three decades later, the animal has successfully rebounded. Welcome back!
