The Animals That Came Back From Extinction
If you had to rebuild a species from scratch, what skill would you want most?
These animals came back from extinction, kind of. Long believed to be gone forever, these animals were hiding, waiting for the right moment to return or for a keen eye to find them. Today, over 70 species are known to have been considered extinct and have since returned. These are the Lazarus species.
Examining the nature of the beast.
From apex predators to the planet's strangest creatures, Animalogic goes deep into the science, behavior, and biology of the animal kingdom, one species at a time.
