Imagine walking up to an animal that science once wrote off as gone forever — only to find it staring right back at you. From the rediscovery of the coelacanth, a giant fish thought to have vanished with the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, to other creatures that shocked the world by reappearing after being labeled extinct, these encounters feel like stepping into a time machine. Each sighting rewrites what we thought we knew about life on Earth and proves that nature still has some wild surprises in store. Get ready to meet the “Lazarus species” — animals that returned from the extinct.
