Found in museum collections then NEVER SEEN AGAIN - Part 2 

Yes I agree! It hits that same mystery itch without the frustration of people just blatantly ignoring science as we know it. Unless it's mountain monsters. Those boys must never stop.

Many cryptid animals became apart of the animal kingdom eventually lmao

That's what cryptozoology is. It's the study of animals that may have escaped their supposed extinction or animals that have been rumored but never officially discovered. Because of it's portrayal in media everyone thinks it's just about mythological/paranormal creatures. I guess bigfoot is more exciting than some random lizard that we haven't seen in a long time.

would be an amazing pet!

Same thing with the cockroach too, as someone with Madagascar Hissers I can see them being a great animal to keep/see

@@samoak123 You have the right mindset to make animals go extinct.

@@eudyptes5046 actually no, every single animal that has been domesticated has thrived. Cats, dogs, guinea pigs, none are close to extinction.

​@@samoak123people already have enough pets

I often hear of “extinct” species being found alive. I never abandon hope because it does happen. No one has really searched the entirety of the world for anything.

Hope part three adds the Frog which is the only 12 have true teeth

I was thinking that

I don’t know, I see some subtle morphological differences

I'm actually in a Galapagos islands graduate class! While it might look like that, the pink iguana is only found in the crater of one volcano. I'm the islands there's a fair number of species that end up being isolated to a singular area which hints at it being it's own species. The research station also has the ability to DNA test the animals there and it has enough genetic differences to be classified! The other land iguanas have actual patterns on them not just a color which helps to differentiate species. The pink one is just that. Pink! And documented morphs in the Galapagos have never been quite so varied.

10 minutes ago It’s morphologically and genetically very distinctive, it has a taller and deeper snout, looks more like the skull island carnosaur from 1933 King Kong in skull shape, morphology.

Erythrism

Pardosa danica? Someone mentioned a spider like that on the first video

​@@noneed4sleep64The taxonomy of spiders changes regularly unfortunately, it's an attempt to keep things organised. Unfortunately it does further confuse research because you go 5 years back and the taxonomy is different from now, go 5 years back again and it's different again, so on so forth. Making research incredibly tedious and often difficult, tarantulas are the most obvious example of this. They change more that anything else I have seen in science..

It’s sad, so many beautiful species have probably gone extinct from collecting 1-3 individuals, we have probably taken out dozens of individual species like this

I lived in Ecuador for more than 5 years. And my favourite thing in the world is to go into the Amazon at night. We used to go to Misahuallí on weekends to do just that. I love Ecuador.

May i ask what specimen you’re referring to?

@@sentry5633 at the time of writing this comment, not anything specific. but i do believe lasiognathus dinema only has a holotype to go off of for example!

@@nuniyoa thank you very much! This’ll be useful for a mod of a game I’m making

@@sentry5633 of course! what game are you modding? subROV? i can set you up with some more fish/deep sea critters too if you want!

@@nuniyoa you’d be surprised: feeding frenzy (that one old game about fish from “04”, I wanted to feature something seen just once, like the beebe’s fish, but also something that’s actually real, you know?

Mainly from domestic carnivorous introduced species

Tell me more

@@all.about.nature4630 Pioneer's lizard (Liolaemus exploratorum) (Santa Cruz, Argentina) 1896 only known from i think 2 museum specimens. It was near impossible to find images of them but I found one in an article. Oligosoma infrapunctatum Enigma Speckled Skink (Southern South Island) only a single specimen ever found but has been missing past 130 years. Colias ponteni "Wallengren" - EX 1768 A butterfly that had its location missing for centuries with Hawaii or Tierre de fuego (patagonia) being in the records but the current agreement is Tierra de fuego. Macquarie Island Parakeet (Macquarie Island) Ex - 1891 a antarctic parrot that there is only I think 3 museum specimens of and a single wing specimen. By the 1900s they were killed off. Its likely they fed off of dead seabirds similar to other kakariki parrots in subantarctic islands. This species is definitely extinct but reintroduction plans of a similar species are underway. Hall’s Thotmus Weevil (Thotmus halli) (Pitt Island) EX - 1911 Only known from a handful of museum specimens collected from New zealand and is considered extinct. Long Eared Kit Fox (Vulpes Macrotis macrotis) AKA southern california kit fox is a obscure subspecies of kit fox that was found in coastal southern californka and Northern Baja. A few museum specimens exist but the species went extinct in 1902. However it may be synonymous with the desert kit fox.

Giant Canterbury Weta (Deinacrida sp.) (Canterbury region South Island) is only known from a single subadult female specimen and individuals haven't been seen since. Its impossible to tell if it is a distinct species since the "holotype" found wasn't a adult and cant be properly determined.
