Therefore, it was considered to be \u2018extinct.\u2019 However, that turned out to be wrong. Researchers from the San Diego Natural History Museum and the non-profit organization Terra Peninsular A.C. have rediscovered the San Quintin kangaroo rat (<em>Dipodomys gravipes<\/em>). It was last seen in 1986 and since 1994, has been considered endangered by the Mexican government. Since its rediscovery this year in summer, the kangaroo rat has been seen in several areas near San Quentin. This species of kangaroo rat is about 5 inches in length and has a tufted tail along with large and strong hind feet (similar to those found in Australian kangaroos). This is the third \u2018extinct\u2019 mammal species that has been rediscovered in this region. Researchers believe that this rediscovery of \u2018extinct\u2019 animal species marks the beginning of a new era.<\/p>\n<p>To know more, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2018\/04\/180419172701.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here now<\/a>!<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex; gap:10px;justify-content:\" class=\"wps-pgfw-pdf-generate-icon__wrapper-frontend\">\n\t\t<a  href=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17892?action=genpdf&amp;id=17892\" class=\"pgfw-single-pdf-download-button\" ><img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-generator-for-wp\/admin\/src\/images\/PDF_Tray.svg\" title=\"Generate PDF\" style=\"width:auto; height:45px;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The San Quentin kangaroo rat was last seen 30 years ago.
