Comeback Creatures: Discover the Wild Things Once Thought Extinct?

Discover animals thought to be extinct that have been found alive in the wild

Earth is a world of land and sea, of light and dark, of life and death, with thousands of species vanishing each year. They're gone, presumed extinct, lost for good . . . Or are they?

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.

Read all about a habitat and the animals and plant life within it, then turn the page to reveal a Lazarus creature that has been found there and the fascinating story behind its discovery. Compendium spreads dotted throughout the book give a snapshot into even more of these creatures that have defied the odds to survive.

At the back of the book there's information on how to become a wildlife detective to protect nature where you live, along with a map to show each habitat and a helpful glossary.

The thoroughly researched yet lyrical text by children's author Leisa Stewart-Sharpe brings the story of each creature to life, alongside richly detailed artwork by illustrator Lucy Rose.

A captivating look at our world, Comeback Creatures is a hopeful exploration of wildlife conservation.
