Back from the dead: Some extinct animals are deemed unextinct again

Reference:http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2105239_2105240_2105247,00.html?iid=hl-article-moreontime

Summary: This month, it was found that a subspecies of the giant tortises on the galapagos islands was found. These turtles were deemed extinct but may now have a hope. Here are some other animals that have come back from extinction:
~Miller's Grizzled Langurs
~Coelacanth
~Laotian Rock Rat
~Mountain Pygmy-Possum
~Worcestor's Button Quail
~Caspian Horse
~Wooly Flying Squirrell
~Bridled Nailtail Wallaby
~Javan Elephants

Critique: I never knew animals could come back from extinction! And each type of animal has a cool story behind it... Like the caspian horse used to be used in Persia 1000+ years ago, but was rediscovered. I think that is so awesome!

Impact: Maybe more animals that we think are extinct actually aren't!!!!
