Animals like the crest-tailed mulgara and the coelacanth are known as Lazarus taxon (plural: Lazarus taxa). These are animals that have supposedly come back from death; they had been declared to be extinct but years and years later, a live specimen of the species is rediscovered. The term was coined in 1982 by Karl W. Flessa and David Jablonski who explained: “At times of biotic crisis many taxa go extinct, but others only temporarily disappeared from the fossil record, often for intervals measured in millions of years, before reappearing unchanged”. Lazarus taxa can be anything from a plant to an insect to a mammal.

Gonna have to agree with the people who said they just stumbled here a week or two ago and fell in love---it was like five days before the Big Post that I randomly woke up and started researching ceolacanths at 3 in the morning and found there's such little footage and video for these ancient cuties so to see them in any and all forms is exciting!!

Look at all the work they have to do in order to even get down to where these awesome dudes hang out. THEY DEEEEEP.
