The recent sighting of an animal long-thought to be extinct, or at least almost, proves that Mother Nature always has some surprises in store! So here's the big news: a black leopard has been photographed in Africa for the first time in over a century! And this really is a bombshell because black leopards are extremely rare.

SUMMARY:
- The cat’s black coat is the result of melanism. This is a condition when the body has too much melanin, the pigment that determines your hair, skin, and eye color.
- In Africa, no one has been able to prove its existence for over 100 years. The last time a published photograph was taken was in 1909 in Ethiopia.
- The most incredible thing about coelacanths is that they’re considered a transitional step between actual fish and four-legged land creatures.
- Speaking of ocean dwellers, there’s another one that was considered extinct up until very recently: Omura’s whale, a.k.a. the dwarf fin whale. Before 2015, none of these whales had ever been found.
- The giant Palouse earthworm has supposedly been extinct since the 1980s. But scientists found one adult specimen in 2005.
- In 2008, the World Wildlife Fund (or WWF) made an astonishing discovery: high up in the mountains of Borneo there lives a whole colony of pygmy elephants that were thought to be extinct for almost two centuries!
- The Fernandina giant tortoise was believed to have died out by 1906, and no signs of it were ever seen until February 17, 2019. A female was discovered in the Galapagos Islands.
