More Lock Down Animals, and Extinct Animals

Hi its me Lily Bit....
Chey did a blog on
animals seen during
lock down. I wanted
to do it too but I only
found two.

But mom was telling me about
this rare blue calamintha bee.

A blue calamintha bee specimen at the Florida State Collection of Arthropods collected in 2002.

It has been spotted in Florida. It
was believed to be extinct since
2016.

The Javan Tiger.
Believed to be gone in
1978 after years of being
hunted by humans.

In 2017 a ranger spotted
a Javan Tiger in the wild.

The Japanese Otter

On August 28, 2012, the Japanese
river otter was officially declared extinct.
In researching it has been found that the Japanese
River Otter is indeed gone.

Wild Boarlets Born in Donegal Believed to be First in Ireland in 800 Years

Bridled nail-tail wallabie

Two animals that look like brown kangaroos lying on the ground next to a log.

These were last sighted in 1937

and located again in 1973.
This has been fun learning about these animals.
