Omiltemi rabbit comes back to life after 120 years without a trace
The Omiltemi rabbit, which had been missing for 120 years, has been rediscovered in the Sierra Madre del Sur.
A species of bunny "coming back to life from the extinction list"? This made my day better. :)
Not to be a debbie downer, but it's possible the bunny has been thriving in areas where humans weren't, and their reappearance means that we are either encroaching upon their sanctuary, or we have flushed them out of it by destroying it. 120 years is a long time to be completely hidden from people.
If you read the article, it sounds like the locals knew it was there, they just didn't know it was rare/extinct. Further, the locals, now knowing its rare, have agree to change practices to help preserve it. So still uplifting!
