Imagine thinking a species was gone for 5,000 years, then—boom!—it pops up alive and well. That’s what happened with the leaf-toed gecko on Rábida Island in the Galápagos. After conservationists kicked out invasive rats, this tiny gecko, only known from fossils, started showing up again. It’s being called one of the most epic wildlife comebacks ever. Nature really does bounce back when we give it a chance! #Science #WildlifeWin #Galapagos
