In Papua New Guinea in the southwest of Pacific , a scientific expedition team was surprised to find that the rare bird "Black Pillow Pheasant Dove", which had mysteriously disappeared on the earth for 140 years, was actually "resurrected" again. This is really an incredible miracle for the biology community.

So, what exactly is the "black pillow pheasant"? Why did they suddenly resurrect?

Black pillow pheasant is a large bird. It looks a bit similar to " Pheasant ". It doesn't like to live on trees, but like to sit on the ground.

According to scientists, the eastern forest of Papua New Guinea is the only habitat of the pheasant on the earth. Until 1882, scientists interested in the pheasant on the black pheasant would go there to examine their living habits and understand their population breeding.

However, because the indigenous people around the habitat of the black-pinned pheasant dove did not know that they were a rare bird, but instead used them as one of the edible preys, this also led to the number of the black-pinned pheasant doves becoming less and less under the hunting of the locals.

By the mid-19th century, people found that there were very few left. When they were about to protect them, they found that it was too late. Therefore, after 1882, the black-pillowed pheasant dove never appeared in everyone's sight again.

Because from the perspective of species extinction, scientists believe that if a species has never appeared for 50 consecutive years and no trace of survival can be found in the wild, then it can be considered extinct. Therefore, the black-pillowed pheasant that has mysteriously disappeared for 140 years has long been considered an extinct bird. However, what is unexpected is why they are resurrected?

After the mysterious disappearance of 140 years, the rare species in the world, the black-pinned pheasant dove reappeared on the earth. Why can extinct creatures still "resurrect"?

In fact, many years ago, scientists had long lost confidence in the fact that the black-pillowed pheasant can be "resurrected". However, this time, during an inspection in Papua New Guinea, they accidentally discovered new clues of their still alive. Under the guidance of the locals, they were finally photographed moving and foraging in the forest.

Related researchers said: In fact, over the years, many scientists have not given up on searching for the black-pinned pheasant, but have never found anything. In 2019, a scientific expedition team stayed in Papua New Guinea for more than a month, and placed a large number of surveillance cameras in the habitat of the black-pinned pheasant, but they returned with regret.

So, this time the photograph of the black pillow pheasant was unexpected to zoologists. Some researchers speculate that perhaps it was after 1882 that the surviving individuals of the Black Pillow Pheasant Dove hid in a dense forest that humans could not find, and secretly continued their population there. Until now, the number has recovered, they will appear again.

With the "resurrection" of the black-pinned pheasant, many researchers believe that perhaps many species on the earth who are considered extinct have the chance to appear in human sight again.

So, why can the extinct species on Earth still be "resurrected"? What is going on?

In addition to the black-pillowed pheasant, there are many mysterious species that have disappeared for a hundred years, quietly "resurrected". For example, in May last year, the rare bird "Balamong Pond Owl" that mysteriously disappeared for 125 years appeared on Kalimantan Island in Indonesia.

There is also in Australia, the mysterious disappearance of Gu's mouse for more than 100 years, and it has reappeared in front of the world. Scientists were excited and crossed them out of the list of extinct species and found that there are many existing numbers, and they are no longer at risk of endangerment.

What is even more incredible is that on the Yadabra Island reefs of Indian Ocean , scientists also discovered a group of white-throated chickens that have been extinct for 136,000 years. What's more amazing is that the "resurrected" white-throated chickens actually have the ability to fly, which is puzzled.

So, why are more and more extinct creatures on the earth still resurrected?

In this regard, some researchers said that extinct species are constantly "reappearing on the earth", which is likely because they did not really disappear from the beginning.

From the habitat of these species, they generally live in forests or isolated islands far away from people. Because few people are close to their habitat, they are not discovered until scientific researchers have placed cameras around their habitats, so they have the opportunity to take pictures.

Some researchers also believe that these extinct species "reappear on the earth" may also be "repeated evolution". What does this mean? Take the white-throated roosters that appeared 136,000 years after their extinction. They have lived on the Yadabra Islands for generations, but 136,000 years ago, all the white-throated roosters that cannot fly were drowned due to the rise of sea level. After

, the sea level fell and the Yadabra reef reef resurfaced again. At this time, birds with high similarities to the white-throated roosters on other surrounding islands flew here to settle down. Because the habitat environment had changed, these birds only took more than 100,000 years to evolve themselves into white-throated roosters, which led to their reappearance.

Of course, in addition to these two possibilities, some researchers believe that perhaps it was because of the emergence of humans that many species were affected by humans, resulting in unnatural extinction. In order to maintain balance, the earth will allow these unnatural extinction species to resurrect. In this way, the earth's ecological environment can continue to operate steadily without collapsing early due to human reasons and entering a new round of mass extinction of species.
