Egg-laying mammal named after Sir David Attenborough rediscovered after decades

The Attenborough's long-beaked echidna, a species presumed to be extinct, has been spotted in Indonesia using camera traps. This egg-laying mammal, named after Sir David Attenborough, belongs to a rare category of monotremes. The species was last seen in 1961, and its recent discovery was made possible by an international team of researchers who spent four weeks in the Cyclops Mountains of Papua Province. The team also discovered other previously unknown species during their expedition.
