Although there are thousands of species on the earth, every moment, in fact, there are species disappearing on the earth, which means that they can only exist in literature and history!
However, now there is a species that has been extinct for more than 100 years abroad, which has been rediscovered by experts, according to which many people are speculating: Will the wild South China tiger, which has disappeared in the future, reappear in the world?
The rare bird, named the black-naped pheasant, was last seen by humans back to 1882, and there have been no records of it, so experts agree that the species is extinct.
Unexpectedly, it has now been rediscovered, and the location is on an island, Ferguson Island off the coast of Papua New Guinea, experts say that there is no trace of its existence anywhere else in the world, and Papua New Guinea Ferguson Island is determined to be the only habitat for the black-naped pheasant.
Speaking of the black-naped pheasant, many people should not know, after all, it is a rare bird, and it is almost impossible to see in China, in fact, this is a ground dwelling dove pigeon about the same size as a domestic chicken, because it is larger, and likes to perch on the ground, its call is peculiar, a bit like a baby crying, so it gets its name.
For 140 years, zoologists and ornithologists have been trying to find its tracks, but to no avail. In October this year, in order to conduct animal research on Ferguson Island, scientists installed a lot of infrared cameras in various canyons, and accidentally photographed a black-naped pheasant dove foraging in the dense forest.
At first, no one believed that it was a black-naped pheasant, but after watching the video and squatting here, it was really a rare species that had been thought to have disappeared!
You must know that Ferguson Island is a rugged island, the entire area is only 1437 square kilometers, experts have repeatedly searched on it over the years, but have not found it.
After that, they cooperated with the local natives, showed them some photos, and after getting ambiguous answers, they began to arrange some infrared cameras, but now they had an unexpected harvest.
It is understood that even in New Guinea, this should be the most endangered bird, experts estimate that the number of black-necked pheasants may be very small, at most only about 100, and the world's black-necked pheasants should all be here.
After the news was announced, the online discussion was very lively, because experts said that the emergence of this long-lost species gave them great confidence to find those species that suddenly disappeared.
From this, everyone thinks of the wild South China tiger that has disappeared, if it is really only because humans have not seen them that they are considered extinct, then maybe one day, the South China tiger can really reappear in everyone's field of vision.
