Hey all! Here is my new video. I've been extremely sick and bedridden all week and I was actually pretty certain I wouldn't get a video made this week. But somehow I felt better enough between last night and today to record and edit together a video. Hope you all enjoy and thank you so much for your support!

Discovered then Lost - 5 species that have only been seen a handful of times

Check out my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=90710607 In this video, we're looking at 5 species that are only known from Museum collections. They've all only been documented a maximum of three times, and in several cases, only one specimen is known in the whole world. 1. Spotted Green Pigeon (Caloenas maculata) 2. Bullneck Seahorse (Hippocampus minotaur) 3. Zug's Monitor (Varanus zugorum) 4. Mauke Starling (Aplonis mavornata) 5. Speckled Skink (Oligosoma infrapunctatum)
