I think this year has been a year of Rediscovered species and I think that it needs to deserve it’s own thread starting with the Silver-backed Chevrotain and onwards.

Another Extinct or Alive find, the Rio Apaporis Caiman has been rediscovered after believed to be extinct in 1980s, it’s not just one individual, but a population of these caimans, and it’s so distinct that it might be described as a new species.
