For those who don’t know, the golden mole was rediscovered November 30th. So this was the very, very, *very* last moment. Which is amazing! It’s still critically endangered, but it’s still around!
Slight correction: The picture shown at 33:50 is not of Atelopus Sorianoi but Atelopus Onorei from Ecuador that is sadly also missing and feared extinct.
With no sightings of the Formosan clouded leopard since 1983, it was declared extinct 2013. Until it was rediscovered February of 2019, when it was spotted for the first time in 40 years
This video is a perfect example of something I could listen to while working on a big project. His voice is so calm, and the video is very educating. The video is also 45 minutes long and is something I can watch without looking at the screen which is a very important factor.
I was expecting most to be lost, but I was pleasantly surprised so many have been refound! I hope we can work towards preserving them. Amazing video, thank you for your work!
I absolutely love how these videos are longer documentary length. I love love love watching them while I study or eat breakfast. They’re so interesting and well made and your voice is so soothing to listen to. Thank you!
Ooh, I was actually waiting for you to cover this topic and I’m really happy you eventually did, you’re like my favorite RU-vidr now and I replay all your stuff all the time, thanks for being one of the only nature RU-vidrs who covers endangered and extinct species in depth, it’s something I’ve been fascinated with since I was a kid
I still think he's cool and I think a lot of the scientific community that don't like him are just jealous and will do and say anything to tear someone down that brings a different way of getting the public interested in helping endangered animals.
@@BobBob-tr7wihe does bring public interest about animals but he is claiming that he either rediscovered extinct species that are either already rediscovered by other people or just outright lying about the genetics testing and not even showing it he is a certified fraud
This was just the video I was looking for! After one of your recent videos I really wanted to know more about the 25 most wanted lost species. So thank you for creating this masterpiece. It must have taken quite a while to accomplish, given how long the video is!
Urban explorers have a saying" take only photos leave only footprints". Thanks to you, I am now on email list of rewild. And I will donate what I can when I can. 😽
At 21:00 minutes when he talks about the host that thinks he discovered all these lost species but is usually wrong, the first name that came to my head was Forrest Galante. I looked it up and sure enough… 😂
I didn't realize that he was a fraud until watching this video. He seems to have quite a following online. I'm very sorry to hear that. He would fake something like that, It's a shame the scientific community hasn't been more vocal about exposing his exploits
@@henrystokes1987 You need a public platform to effectively spread information and unlike Galante, the scientific community doesn't have a high-rating Animal Planet TV show. Sadly, it takes a hell of a lot more work to refute a bullshit claim than it takes to simply make the bullshit claim in the first place
I just finished watching your last video and was praying you’d make one on this list, I’m thrilled to see it’s already here! Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos. One of my favourite channels by far
Really disappointed in the behavior of Forrest, tbh. I used to watch Extinct or Alive a lot and it’s part of what got me interested in the show in the first place. I always felt iffy about how he handled his episode on the Zanzibar leopard. His portrayal of the natives is really judgmental and while what they historically did to the species is wrong they are entitled to their beliefs. If he’s so confident that he may have found a Zanzibar leopard then why tell people about it? If the natives are as superstitious as he portrays them then wouldn’t it just put the leopards in more danger? And to take credit for someone else’s discovery is just plain wrong and super entitled. Smh.
@@MrDdeded If it's cringe to be annoyed by a rich American wanker trying to steal credit for discoveries provably made by others, then call me cringe and frigging proud of it. Worst is that it's not even the only time he's done this. He also tried to steal credit for "rediscovering" the Rio Apaporis caiman despite the fact that it was already known not to be extinct and Sergio Balaguera-Reina had published a population survey on living Rio Apaporis caimans in 2019, before Galante even began filming in Colombia. This is a systematic thing for Galante and he deserves to be shat on for it
@@MrDdeded It’s not “cringe” to rightfully criticize a white man. They don’t deserve this special treatment they get, where they aren’t held accountable for their wrongdoings as often. Everyone should be equally held accountable
Awesome video as always. I'm very happy that you managed to sneak the rediscovery of the golden mole at the last moment, funny how it kinda seemed make on purpose.
I think it is sad that some of these species are caught and collected (killed) for science. I think it is best some of these populations are simply left alone. I find it counter productive
Loving your videos. How about one on abundant species in alarming decline, passenger pigeon of the year kind of thing. Or large groups going down together, insects, moths, amphibians etc.
That man who made the false claim of rediscovering the list species of turtle.....I seen him being interviewed on Joe Rogan and immediately didn't like him. Something about him really annoyed me. Now my inner cringe has been justified.
@the.mr.schrader wait until you learn that's what almost ALL of you are lol. "Nah bro you don't understand This lizard is .0001 genetically different than this lizard 10 miles away. Give us 500,000 dollars (for us to steal half of) to do "research'". It's quite widely known you guys lie ALL the time to "push" conversation. Btw isn't weird is the only people who accuse them of this are people who paid for a degree they don't use?
Forrest Gallante apparently retracted taking credit for the tortoise discovery and credited to the proper party, though he evidently was part of the expedition that rediscovered it
Great watch, saved this vid for future viewing. Thanks for another awesome video although it is a bit sad to know that most of them are lost. Hopefully, they will be rediscovered
It’s pretty hard to ID them from pictures to be fair, since there’s so many similar looking black tipped sharks haha, but you never know, hopefully one will be caught and analyzed soon
I truly think Forest Galante isn’t that bad of a guy in general. He has brought a lot of eyes to endangered species and has gotten me back into this niche subject I loved as a kid. He can be controversial but I do think he adds scientific value to the community
Thanks for posting a video on this topic ! I have been intrigued by it since you brought it up in one of your earlier videos. A fantastic video as always .
I saw a heartbreaking picture this week of 3 dead pink river dolphins on a mudflat formerly Amazon river branch. Worst draught in 120 years and degraded forest after the fires, i fear the next list of presumed extinct may rapidly expand as we speak 😢
OMILTEMI COTTONTAIL MENTIONED! I have been obsessed with those little guys for years!! I hope some are spotted soon, I'd love to have more than one photo of one to look at fondly.
Because of this channel, I've been learning more and more about extinct and lost species!! I would love to see more uncommon extinct/lost species. Please create more about these types of videos! I love to learn about critters that have gone extinct and had less popularity. They are all unique!
Greetings You missed mentioning the Rancho Grande harlequin toad (Atelopus cruciger), located in Henry Pittier Nat Park and declared extinct in 1986 and rediscovered in 2008, which is still in critical danger of extinction due to the restricted distribution of the few remaining populations.
I love the obvious disdain for F***** G*******. Not even saying his name is next level. He's overly sensational and confuses his audience on very real issues of Conservation. Well done taking a stand!
Forrest has done this sort of thing multiple times. He took credit for the langurs, and caiman he “rediscoved” when they already had been found prior to his expedition
Definitely thought this was some elaborate Spore lore exploration from the preview. Happy to learn it’s IRL elaborate spore lore. Biologists, feel free to rename yourselves elaborsporlorologists. You are welcome.
You are doing an important job here! Please, Keep on with your important and necessary work for the sake of the well being of all the planet. PS: Pandas...there are many more species we collectively must save. For once Kudos to the UAE that saved their endangered monochromatic gazelle ( Orix? something like that.)
44:20 slight correction he did run front of him however he doesn’t say that he found the species he says”we” as he did do some work in helping as a is a legitimate scientist who genuinely cares about animals
I'm completely absorbed in this. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and it was truly absorbing. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
Subspecies Lives Matter !!! . I've always had doubts about the host of the show extinct or alive. . I've read that the Maori of New Zealand introduced the Polynesian Rat. These rats decimated the small animal species of New Zealand. The bats would have been under great pressure to survive. With the introduction of European rats, yikes!
There is still a pair of I rebuild woodpeckers here in Northern Florida I will not reveal their location for their protection believe it or not it's true but have faith it is and maybe you'll see their young soon I will stay anonymous as a bird watcher I wouldn't even let the watchers that were with me which were amateurs anyways know that I spotted these birds they need to stay protected and anybody that spots them needs to keep it to if they care at all for the species 🧐👀👀👀👀👁️ I am watching you watching me when all along I was watching you 👾👽😎
Well…unfortunately one of the things that this video makes quite clear is…that host dude from the tv show “extinct or alive” is an absolute douche and the show itself is completely untrustworthy imo🤦♀️😅
