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 elusive reptile was feared extinct by conservationists. Scientists found the tiny snake under rocks in Barbados during a recent survey, overturning hundreds of stones in their search. The rediscovery brings hope for the survival of other species considered 'lost to science.' The find highlights the importance of ongoing conservation efforts and habitat protection for critically endangered species.
