Earth is full of surprises. Every year, thousands of species vanish--gone, presumed extinct, lost forever . . . or are they?On rare occasions, creatures believed to have disappeared have been rediscovered by scientists and local communities.

Comeback Creatures is packed with inspiring tales of animals that beat the odds. It features:- Over 50 rediscovered species--from tiny frogs and rare reptiles to giant tortoises and singing dogs.
