In today's video we will learn about 2 species that were once known to science, but seemed to have been lost. In one case, for 140 years. In the other for 1800 years.

We will hear the stories of:
1. The Black-Naped Pheasant Pigeon (Otidiphaps nobilis insularis) and
2. The Judean Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera - ancient cultivar)
