Sharks
Now we’re talking about the ocean’s fiercest creatures: sharks. Sharks come in all shapes and sizes but the one constant throughout them all is that they are truly survivors. Come on, it’s a given, sharks are holdovers from millions of years ago and they’ve survived various periods of extinction. Perhaps that is why we considered them some of the toughest and scariest animals on the planet. Among some of the oldest living survivors, and rediscovered animals, is the Whale Shark. The Whale Shark was originally discovered in 1828 though they date back for over 60 million years.
Pinocchio Lizard
The Pinocchio Lizard is renowned for its distinctive nose, as you can see below. It was believed to be extinct for 50 years, until it was rediscovered in 2005 deep in the cloud forests of Ecuador by a birder who saw it crossing a road.
