Caught on Camera


21 Jan

It’s happened again! Scientists have found a species believed to be extinct! This time, it’s the Miller’s Grizzled Langur, a monkey living in the jungles ofBorneo. These guys are so rare, and it has been so long since they’ve been seen, that the scientists who “found” them (via camera traps) did not even know what they were looking at. In fact, museum sketches were the best pictorial evidence they had to go on.

The old habitat of the monkeys had been destroyed, and they were honestly believed gone. Sometimes it’s good to be reminded of how resilient animals are.
