'Extinct' Night Parrot Spotted Alive For The First Time In 100 Years

Even though in the last years the extinction animal list just got bigger and bigger, some great news are circulating through social media as a parrot species thought to be extinct has been rediscovered. Some photos of the mysterious night parrot, have left the birdwatchers ‘elated,’ the Guardian reported.

According to the Guardian, the discovery is expected to have a major impact on mining development in Western Australia. "This is irrefutable evidence," Rohan Clarke, head of Research Ecology, told Guardian Australia. "We know that night parrots do occur in Western Australia now. Mining companies, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Parks and Water … they will have to place a lot more import into reported sightings now or in the future when they are making an assessment around potential developments or habitat destruction in the area."
