Myanmar’s Jerdon’s Babbler
Rare? Check. Unseen for more than 70 years? Check. In fact, the last official observation was in July 1941. Scientific American said that after the species’s long absence, the animal was declared extinct and “written out of the birding books.” Furthermore, a team of researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society were rather shocked to find several of them living in Myanmar in May 2014. Looks like the books need rewriting.

Kashmir Musk Deer
The Decimated was destroyed by Afghanistan’s unregulated hunting and deforestation, as such the Kasmir Musk Deer went unseen from 1948 until 2009. After surveying the country’s last remaining forests, a team of researchers made several sightings of the elusive animal and thus announced their findings in the scientific journal, Onyx.
