The Barbados threadsnake, the world's smallest-known snake, has been rediscovered after nearly two decades without a confirmed sighting. Measuring just 3-4 inches long and as thin as a strand of spaghetti, the snake was feared extinct by conservationists and scientists. Its rediscovery came after an intensive search in Barbados, where researchers overturned hundreds of rocks before finding the elusive reptile. The species had been listed among thousands of 'lost to science' animals, plants, and fungi. This find brings hope for the survival of other species thought to be extinct and highlights the importance of ongoing conservation efforts.
