Today we at @googlefactss present to you: Alytes muletensis — the Majorcan midwife toad. First only known from fossils in 1977 and presumed extinct, live individuals were found in Mallorca three years later. This tiny endemic lives only in Tramuntana mountain streams, where males carry and keep the eggs moist on their backs until they hatch. 🐸🌿 [Source] @googlefactss #conservation#biodiversity#LazarusSpecies

Today we present you: The takahē (Porphyrio hochstetteri) — a flightless, endemic New Zealand bird, that was once thought extinct and famously rediscovered in 1948 — has been saved from the brink of extinction by intensive conservation: captive breeding, predator control, and protected reserves. Populations have increased but the species remains threatened and needs continued protection. Around 500 birds are now known to survive.
