5 Extinct Animals that could be Alive Today
The remains of a 300,000 year old species still had muscle tissue and blood on them.
Life on Earth has been diverse and has existed for more than five billion years. During this period, many species have evolved and gone extinct. However, our understanding of extinction is sometimes challenged by surprising discoveries.
These discoveries point out that some species that were previously believed to be extinct still exist in some unknown areas or the deep sea. These discoveries further show the uncertainties in scientific research. These animals defy the physical and environmental odds and continue to exist.
Such findings challenge the understanding of the natural world and highlight continued efforts in conservation and research, keeping the possibility of recovery of more extinct species.
1- Woolly Mammoth
The Woolly Mammoth was a common part of the Ice Age and walked in the frozen wilderness of Siberia, North America, and Europe. Woolly mammoths first emerged about 300,000 years ago and were long thought to have disappeared between 4,000 and 10,000 years ago.
The main evidence of their existence came from their fossilized bones and tusks, found preserved in the frozen soil.
