Incredibly Rare Bongos Found in Area They Were Thought to Be ExtinctA single trail camera photograph has confirmed what conservationists feared was lost forever: mountain bongos still roam the Maasai Mau forest in Kenya, a region where the rare antelope was believed extinct. With only 28 to 40 individuals estimated in their last known stronghold, the discovery of three bongos -- including a mature male who may have hidden there for years --has sparked what one researcher calls "unbelievable" excitement and renewed determination. The find is largely thanks to Maasai rangers working in isolation, using ancestral knowledge of the ecosystem to track Africa's largest and shyest forest antelope through nearly inaccessible terrain. As one scientist reflects, "Their presence makes the forest more magical, and the world would be poorer for their loss" -- a reminder that persistence in the face of disappearance sometimes reveals that what we thought was gone was simply waiting to be seen again.
