Omura’s Whale
At first, Omura’s Whale was described as a distinct species in 2003, after years of eluding researchers, it was feared to be extinct. Then in October 2015, Salvatore Cerchio and a group of scientists captured photos of the whale off the coast of northwest Madagascar, marking that the first time the species had ever been filmed during field observations.
Crested Gecko
1866 was the year the Crested Gecko was discovered, sadly for many decades it was believed to be extinct until it was eventually found in 1994 on the Isle of Pines in New Caledonia by German herpetologists.
