The Barbados threadsnake, the world’s smallest-known snake, has been rediscovered in Barbados after nearly two decades without a confirmed sighting. Measuring just 3-4 inches long and as thin as a strand of spaghetti, the species was feared extinct after last being seen in 2006. Scientists found the elusive reptile under rocks during a recent survey, sparking relief and excitement in the conservation community. The rediscovery highlights the importance of ongoing fieldwork and conservation efforts for species thought to be lost. This tiny snake’s return offers hope for other 'lost' species and underscores the fragility of island ecosystems.
