In a remarkable turn of events, the Auckland Island Rail, once thought to be extinct, was rediscovered in the second half of the 20th century, marking a significant milestone for ornithology and conservation efforts. This elusive bird, known for its secretive nature, was first identified in the 19th century but disappeared from scientific records between 1893 and 1966.
