"Rediscovered: Long-Lost Echidna Named After Attenborough Found in Indonesia"

TL;DR Summary
A team led by Oxford University scientists has captured the first-ever photographic evidence of Attenborough's long-beaked echidna, a mammal that was thought to be extinct since 1961. The team spent four weeks in the Cyclops Mountains in Indonesia, setting up trail cameras, and finally captured images of the elusive creature on the last day of the expedition. The discovery also led to the identification of several new species, including a tree-dwelling shrimp and two frog species.
