New Guinea singing dog
It looks a bit like a dingo; after all, it too is a wild dog. But the singing dogs of New Guinea—so named for their propensity for prolonged, high-pitch vocalizations—were presumed extinct in the wild until they were rediscovered in 2020.
The discovery is a boon to conservation efforts, which have struggled with genetic bottlenecking amongst the captive population. Hopefully, the newly discovered bunch can provide some much-needed genetic diversity.
