Summary

It's a sad fact of our world that some creatures have gone extinct. Whether their homes have been destroyed by climate change or their numbers decimated by low food supplies, they are lost forever, never to be seen on Earth again. But where there is life, there is hope. In some special cases, certain creatures, thought to have died out, have been found alive and thriving by scientists and local people. They are known as Lazarus species. From the black-footed ferret, which was thought to have died out from disease but was discovered on a porch in Wyoming, USA, to the Pinocchio lizard, a long-nosed reptile found in the cloud forests of Ecuador, examples can be found all over the globe. 'Comeback Creatures' is packed with inspirational stories of animals that have come back from the brink!
