The Barbados threadsnake, the world's smallest-known snake, has been rediscovered in Barbados after nearly two decades without a confirmed sighting. Scientists had feared the species was extinct, as it had not been observed since 2006. The tiny reptile, which can fit comfortably on a coin and measures about four inches long, was found under rocks during a recent survey. Its rediscovery brings relief and excitement to conservationists, highlighting the importance of ongoing efforts to locate and protect 'lost' species. The find underscores the resilience of wildlife and the value of persistent scientific exploration.
