A long-lost species of mammal, Attenborough's long-beaked echidna, with spines like a hedgehog, the snout of an anteater, and the feet of a mole, has been rediscovered in Indonesia's Cyclops Mountains after more than 60 years. The creature was captured on camera during a four-week expedition by Oxford University scientists. The echidna, named after David Attenborough, is part of the monotreme group, differentiating it from other mammals due to its egg-laying nature. The team endured challenges but ultimately found the elusive creature, which holds cultural significance in the local community.

We should be focusing on preserving the species we already have, not wasting resources on a single elusive creature.
